my tips:

1.make sure that ur motherboard support the CPU that you are using.
2. also DDR3 is good, but not worth the money as it expensive and DDR2 is more widely used
3. get parts that a few steps from the top, to save money
4. make you have enough power to upgrade so that add better graphic cards later on - modular is better


but thats mine

1. Change out the i5 650 for an i5 750
2. Get rid of the tripple channel kit since socket 1156 is only dual channel.
3. It seems like you're getting items from different places. I recommend you getting them from the same place as it will cut down on shipping and will be alot easier for RMA's if everything's on the same invoice.
4. Consider changing the CPU cooler. For near that price you can grab a H50 or even a H70 which would be a great improvement. If you don't want to though, the A70 is still a great cooler.



2. also DDR3 is good, but not worth the money as it expensive and DDR2 is more widely used


Good luck finding a Socket 1156 motherboard which supports DDR2. Besides, 4GB of DDR2 800MHz is as expensive as 4GB of DDR3 1600MHz these days. It is better to go with the latter.
