Case- is out of stock plus this one is better get from amazon no shipping http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-RC-922M-KKN1-GP-Tower-Black/dp/B0026FCI2U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1294023533&sr=8-1

PSU- Good Choice

CPU- Get the 955BE instead even with stock cooling you'll be able to overclock it past the 965 speeds it's just a better deal

Mobo- Good Choice

vid card- Good Choice

HDD- Good Choice

Disk Drive- Get this cheaper ASUS instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204&cm_re=asus_dvd_24x-_-27-135-204-_-Product

RAM- Looks like a great deal but you only really need 4gb for gaming it's your choice though and that is one good deal

OS- good choice

Second Set seems all fine to me :)
