After reading your reply I decided to go from a intel Q9650 build to the i5 750. I know your guys know your stuff, could you give it a once over and leave advice?
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD4P LGA 1156 Intel P55
Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Video card: SAPPHIRE 100279-1GL Radeon HD 4870 1GB 256-bit
1Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB
2hard drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKS 320GB
DVD: LITE-ON Black 24X DVD+R 24X DVD-R SATA Black
os.: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Full
case I am stuck. I already bought it: Antec 300
Light gaming, watching movies, and slowly learning to over clock.

Looks fine to me. A little message I put for all i5 builds now is to make sure you use the white memory slots, not the blue ones.
The components are all good stuff, and the Antec Three Hundred is plenty adequate for that lot. The i5 750 is an absolute doddle to overclock with the P55A-UD4P, as I have an almost identical board (the UD4) and it took all of two settings to get to 4.1Ghz.

Keep things in the same thread, makes it easier, because atm Im not sure if anything new has been said in the other thread.
As for the build, I still dont see a point in a 500 and 300 GB drive. May as well just get a 1TB HDD. More storage and better performance.
And make sure you win7 is 64 bit.

I strongly disagree. I swear by having multiple hard drives. It makes things so much easier when reformatting/reinstalling.

Any advice on a after market cooler? I can't find any with real good reviews.
