CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 940
Mainboard: Msi DKA790GX PLATINUM
Ram: 2x G-Skill F2-6400CL5S-2GBPQ 2GB
GPU: Palit HD 4870 1GB Sonic Dual
HDD: (Already have)
Cabinet: Coolermaster Centurion 590/ NZXT Hush
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer XTREME (Cost anyone?)
Power: Coolermaster eXtreme Power 600 Watts

Q1. Will I need the stock cooler if I'm using the Arctic Xtreme? I won't, right?
Q2. Any cost cutting measures? (Mainboard & Cabinet I guess?)

Thanks. All performance-transparent price reductions will be very helpful.

Everything looks really good...Why dont u use TRUE for cooling?...Get a CM690 cabby.

1. Can you give some more details of TRUE? I'm confused on that one.
2. Will the CM 690 be as silent as the NZXT Hush? The Hush has very good acoustic dampening material. Are you using CM 690?

1.The thermalright ultra 120 extreme orTRUE is the best air cooling kit in the market today..It costs 2.5k and you will also need to buy a 120mm fan for this but those are very cheap...

2.The cm690 is a proven cabby with excellent air flo...Im not sure about its noise levels though, the hush is also the same price so its your choice...

And since you seem to look for cost cutting, you can go for the MSI HD4870 512mb for only 12.5k...Later you can add another one and go crossfire.
