Cooling: Zalman CNPS9900 MAX CPU Cooler w/ Red LED (He thought this is a cool looking fan. lol)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 w/ Dual DDR3 2133, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan, USB 3.0, CrossFireX
RAM: Patriot Gamer 2 Series DDR3 8GB PC3-12800 Enhanced Latency DIMM
HDD1: Intel SSD 330 Series SATA III Solid State Drive Kit, 120GB

I would input the system into PCPartPicker.com and let it see if it can find better prices for you. Might save you some money and avoid some tax, especially if you can buy the parts online.
