I have the Hyper 212 EVO and it is a pretty large cooler. Depending on how you orient the cooler you might not have enough space for 4 RAM sticks. I have the fan side pointing towards my ram and I am only able to use 2 sticks since one of the slots is covered by the fan. There are two solutions: use a low profile set (with smaller heat spreaders) or buy a 2 stick solution 2 x 8 GB.

You're wasting probably 40 bucks getting another 8Gb of Ram if this is just for gaming. I would stay away from the Green series HDD also no where near as reliable or performance compared to a Black or Blue, and personally Ive had to replace quite a few in our business computers here at work. I would recommend getting at least a WD Blue Drive if you plan on running anything off it. Corsairs is a great brand but havent read to many reviews on their SSDs I would stick to the trusty Crucial M4s or Samsung 830s right now.

Yeah I have the TX3 Evo now and that's pretty big.. I'll have to have a look.

I use Photoshop/Illustrator as well, should I go middle ground and get 12gb, or just stick with 8?

And I'll switch to the WD Black.
