I plan on ordering these parts a week or two into May, unless someone has a good reason for me to wait. I'm just looking for an approval on these parts to make sure no one has a better suggestion or cheaper alternative. Thanks for helping.

Change your HSF choice to a Thermalright Ultra-120. It's a better sink, won't put you up **** creek if the fan dies, and has better cooling.

Agreed with Thrax. And if you really want the absolute best in air cooling, Sidewindercomputers has the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme in stock too. It's like the Ultra 120 but has more heatpipes than the standard Ultra 120.

If you do go with the Zalman, you can buy the fans for them separately at this store here (http://www.sharkacomputers.com/zare12fanfor.html). They sell replacement fans for Zalman heatsinks.

Thanks, I'll get that changed when I order the parts.
