While 80 Plus is not the only criteria I would use that's probably a good switch :)

I really don't think much of the SSD. 32GB is too small for a boot drive... it might take Win 7, but nothing else at all. A few temp files and you'll be in trouble.
Best to just leave the SSD thing alone at this point and spend the extra on a better GPU.

GTX 460 1GB would be great ESPECIALLY given your monitor res. GTX 470 or 5850 if you can swing it.

No major issue with the case but I would probably take this one first
