I am sorry ... that is a sharp LOOKING case you picked and, even tho most owners are fairly pleased with it ... IT IS VERY FLIMSY and a bit cramped ... as long as you know that ....

... Nothing glamorous, with these cases ... they just work. (cost a wee bit more).

This case comes with 3 large (quiet) fans and FREE SHIPPING !!

I might switch the ram to this:
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM - Retail
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231303&cm_re=gskill_4gb_1600-_-20-231-303-_-Product

And if you are sure that crossfire is never going to be an option, stick with what you have but I would spend the additional 10$ for it.
