    Nice system! Congrats!

    I have Cooler Master U3. Runs quite and drops my temps down 5-8 degrees Celsius. Also has a nice typing angle. I got it for $19.99 last week during a shell shocker deal.

    For SSD, Samsung 830 and crucial m4 are praised for reliability. If you have the money Intel is also good option. Lots of deals on 128gb size drives right now :)

    Have fun!
