You're not getting a sound card? If this is for practical use, the MOBO sound is not going to cut it.
I suggest adding a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 829102019. If you're mixing music, then you'll want something that can produce nice sound. Do you have nice speakers?

Oh, lol. Much better, just wasn't aware. Everything else looks fine, but I don't recommend either of those cases really. The Lian-Li has some problems, and Silverstone's are generally overprice.
I recommend an Antec 1200, but I prefer Antec cases.

Thanks for the advice radiowars. Trying to choose the right case has been my biggest headache so far. I'll definately check out the Antec 1200.
