Wondering if I can improve this without spending more money. Also will I need a new keyboard as the one I use uses a PS/2 connector. Do I need to get any cables? or do they come with this? Worth getting a cooler? Do I need 650W?

Could definately OC the cpu up to around 4.5GHz im told is stable :) Free but requires a bit of tinkering about! Though your CPU cooler should be able to handle it fine :)

CPU cooler is worth it as Intel turbo boost will be more comfortable increasing your multiplier under high load.

You *might* be able to squeeze it down to 600w. It might also be worth trying to get a Case bundled with a decent PSU by a REPUTABLE company such as coolermaster, antec, corsair or thermaltake.

Keyboard is a really simple decision really, either spend £50 and get a gaming one or get a microsoft one as they're good for everything else.
