Your build is very similar to what I was originally going for. I then checked out the AMD route and figured I could get more speed from CPU and Ram with AMD, since the i5 doesn't support hypertheading or ram over 1600mhz without OC.

I couldn't find a case I liked for the price so I'm just recycling an old Coolermaster ATX case and I already have HDD's, Optical drive and CPU Cooler. Ps, all my part prices are from MSY.
