1. Get windows 7.
2. Very ugly case.
3. $70 for a wireless mouse is too much.

Huh? I have a Corsair 500R and it's one of the best cases I've ever used.

It looks pretty decent but it could definitely use some tweaking, although what's the "other" and why are you paying $129 for it?

And you could definitely get a better video card if you move things around:

Much better GPU, cooler, SSD, while leaving you $300 for monitor, keyboard, mouse, and whatever else you need.
