    A few problems with that :P

    -Triple channel memory doesn't go with that chipset.
    -Case + PSU combo is a bad idea
    -Spinpoint F3 is a better hard drive, any 6GB/s mechanical hard drive is just advertising it never gets to that speed anyway.
    -You'd be better off getting a Phenom II X4 or else spending a bit more money to get an i5-2500k. The older i5s aren't worth the money now that Sandy Bridge is out.
    -The GTX 560 isn't a great card, a 6870/560 Ti/6950 would be a better choice imo.
