Mother board: ASUS P7P55D-E "Normal" or PRO
PRO model or normal? I don't really want to Xfire...
I'll overclock the i5 to 3.2Ghz w/ turbo - if you have any suggestion, keep that in consideration!

Any +1 for that cooler?

Case: Since I’m no more going for a C/F build, I gues it’s a good idea to change of case. I have to admit I have zero knowledge about this.

Suggestion: Antec 1200 w/ CP-850

Thank you JackNaylorPE for your rapid answer, will take your suggestions in consideration, but need to know if really it worths to get the PRO model of the mobo (stability, overclockability?).
Rather than the HAF 922 w/ the Antec 750 watter, I'd suggest the Antec 1200 w/ the CP-850. Better cooling and better PSU than any of the others. The HAF 922 is somewhat smaller and would make a good match with any of the following. Here's some choices with jonnyguru.com performance ratings in ( ) w/ newegg prices

Corsair TX-750 (8.5) $109
Corsair TX-850 (9.5) $109
Corsair HX-850 (10.0) $160
Corsair HX-620 (9.5) $129

Antec Earthwatts 650 (9.0) $89
Antec TP-750 (9.5) $124
Antec SG-850 (10.0) $269 (ouch was $209 in October)
Antec CP-850 (10.0) $139 (ouch was $109 yesterday .... look elsewhere .....mwave has for $118)
Antec SG-650 (10.0) NLA

My old router died, I need a new one.

If you have any other cheaper router suggestion feel free to post, but I need VPN Virtual Private Network
 
Mobo: If you're not going to XFire, the normal one is fine. The difference is the speed of the second PCIe slot. A better choice in that case is GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3 if you don't need eSATA ports or GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3P if you do. Both are cheaper because they only have 1 PCIe 2.0 slot.

RAM: CORSAIR XMS3 1600 mhz CAS Latency 7 $117. A little more expensvie than the Ripjaws, but faster. Cheaper than the Ecos.

HDD: IMO, 1 TB. RAID 0 can cause some problems.

Rest is good.

@ mad: I forgot to remove the 1300 one...
The ECO were suggested for overclocking (due to their low voltage).
For the mobos, could you tell me which of the ASUS or Gigabyte is the best (overclocking, stability and all the stuff?)

@Ban: Are you sure that you can make a virtual private network with this router (do you have currently access to all of your computers program from one computer)?
Sweet combo, but crual - I live in Canada ><
