Looks fine excpet I would say get some arctic silver 5 instead of that zalman thermal compound, AS5 is still on top.

Gonna use my existing power supply, just need a couple of extra cables for it.
Regarding the compound, I'm looking for ease of application over performance.
Keep em coming! :)

If your going to use the stock cooler you will need something to clean the OEM thermal paste off with. something like akasa tim clean.

I dont think you need to worry about cleaning it properly because it just wipes off like powder when its cold. seriously dont waste your money!
