Pretty good deal on the video card. I had a 9600 gso with that same cooler. Does a pretty good job. Take into account the gts 250 is low on heat you should be good. I don't think that cooler fan has any problems but I know my bfg gts 250 fan idled to low (15% speed for some reason) so I used Expertool to raise it control my fan speed. In a 75F room with the fanspeed on 50% I get 38C. You should be definitely in that ballpark or lower with that cooler. Good deal. Hope you enjoy that build. Game on.

Cheaper - Yes
Uses less power No

You can also get i5 which cheaper than i7 and better than PHenomII
Um...I hate to continue this any further with another post, but you realize he already built it right? Shows over folks! Mace if you have any problems with it I would suggest you start up a new thread for that.
will do, thx for all the help...
