So I'm probably going to bite the bullet and buy the components for my next build. I would be grateful if you could look over my stuff and let me know what you think. Comments will be appreciated, I'll be placing the order today.

Everything looks faaairly decent. I, and the majority of the people here, would suggest getting a Spinpoint F3 as a harddrive instead. They're fast and reliable. You also probably don't need anywhere near 1000W to power your system. Something closer to 750W would probably be a better choice, while saving you money. Other then that though everything looks good.
Get a 600w - 800w PSU instead, depending on if you want to SLI in the future, a spinpoint F3 and I'd personally get a bit cheaper case and cooler and use the rest for a SSD for SSD cacheing with the Z68 motherboard.
Thanks, my original plan was to order this yesterday but i've decided to wait till the end of the month when my finances are better :) I've added the spinpoint F3. I did really like the cosmos S, so think i'll stick with that.
