Also throw in some thermal compound. Does anyone know if this case has extra fan slots? if so count in some extra fans for those. I'm not so sure on the CPU cooler either.

Nice recommendations niklas_13. That board you recommended is about the same price as the one that i picked except supports usb 3.0 and a bunch of other stuff apparently. Never strayed from WD harddrives so I'm not sure about the Samsung HD. It does have good reviews so I may have to check it out. Going to check out that Heatsink too.
