Looks like you've done your research and made your decision. I would question the need for an i7 in a gaming build but that is your prerogative. You could probably shave the price down to your target by optiong for WD's Caviar Blue, but again your choice and not really necessary if you are happy with your decision. I love how the H440 cases look and almost got one myself but I wanted an optical drive so went for the Fractal Design R4 case instead.
