You don't need the triple channel ram as Sandy bridge is dual channel. You should get a dual kit of either 4GB or 8GB.

ty swapping now

for:

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM

Antec Nine Hundred = dust trap.
There is a lot of better case out there.

Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EALS 1TB
Change it for a caviar black 640Go (same price).
You don't really need this change, the caviar blue is still pretty good and make less noise.

GTX 470
Maybe a 6870, cost less, perform a little (really little) bit worst, consume a lot less, run cooler, run quieter.
Or a 6950 if you have more money to put.
