Thanks for the input on my last post I made some changes.   WIth the overclocking of the CPU is the stage 1 cooling good enough to keep it cool?
 
Also I have an LG L22WT with a 1680 X 1050 max res monitor.
 
Thanks in advance for any input

Yup your config looks great. Why not a 460 1gb? And jsut so you know the micro only pretty much allows 2 gpu max with no sound cards etc so if you plan on going sli that card isnt for you, maybe you heard of these from your other post but i didnt read them so yea just a reminder. I sugggest going with the noctua 12, their only a few bux more, way better than the V6

I only plan on having one vid card.  The card was the one that came with the standard build of the comp. So the card should be good to go? I will also change the cpu cooling.

No the 460 is a better card than the 465, if you can afford it try to upgrade to the 1tb 32mb cache, youll see a performance increase there. Later on save another 100 to get the 40g intel ssd when prices drop when the g3's come out, well i dont know how much they are now but def get them when the prices drop lol, youll love it. I promise you that

if you are building this for gaming, i would invest more in your video card, and less in the mobo/processor/ram
 
with this build you will see no difference in any desktop applications, web browsing, movie watching, and you get a gtx 470, which is better for gaming, for 9 dollars less.
 
$1530
 
video power is THE bottleneck for gaming, so if youre going for a gaming build, you should build around your video card
