Well Ok I've had a look at your spec and it's pretty good for Gaming but I would suggest a few things like:

1. Maybe you might want to take another look at that cooling maybe you would want something a bit better
2. The 500Gb hard drive is a bit small plus if your going to get one that 500Gb's definitely switch to A caviar Black drive there much better and faster!
3. That graphics card is brilliant but maybe you could consider a higher end one like a Gtx 570 or 580.
4. Plus that motherboard's a bit High end and if you got a cheaper one you could use the money leftover from that to get a higher end graphics card!

After all that the Spec is looking pretty good aside those things! Hope this helped!

thanks a lot man......or woman....
so if 500gb is too smal what do you recon is a good size to go by?

Maybe one 1Tb man but it depends on how many games u gunna have!
