  That machine is fine but honestly, I really don't think you need that cooler if you don't overclock, it saves you near 60$ US
  You also are now back to 6gb which means really, you're very close to having the cash to afford that Intel, 160gb G2 SSD (440$) which will make the machine move like nothing you've seen before.
  
  Otherwise it's pretty good, I prefer the Antec P183 case but it's not cheap! So you might wanna skimp on it.
