Your 955 CPU is the C2 stepping, aka IBOX. Swap it out for a C3 stepping, MBOX. It's the more recent 955 and runs cooler giving more OC room. See link.

The baracuda 7200.11 have horrendous reviews about click of death. Look into a Seagate 7200.12 or I would recommend a Samsung Spinpoint F3 1 TB

I personally recommend the 900 Two Case. It's just a better version and has a gap behind the Motherboard try for better wire management.

To quote a Antec 900 review:
Cons: I should have done some more research when buying a case. It doesn't have a suitable way of cable management, with the Antec true power 750w PSU i've got cables sprawled out through the thing looking like a birds nest. Also the Antec 902 is out, which has a black interior and larger holes for cable routing
