No SSD for me at the moment, the Sata II and the sandy bridge arent the best. I don't have the money to buy a sata III at the moment and will upgrade down the road. . .

Thank you very much for all the following help!

All looks pretty good. Only a few minor suggestions.

1) Do you have a reason for geting Windows Professional? Home Premium has almost all of the features for $40 less: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

2) Do you intend to get 2 sets of memory for a total of 8 GB? Would be better to get 2 X 4 GB sticks so that you have the ability to upgrade to 16 GB later.
This works: Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240 DDR3 1600 for $88 after rebate.
This is closer to the quality of your other parts: Mushkin Enhanced Ridgeback 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 for $115

3) Does not look like the case comes with its own speaker. Kind of wierd, since even $40 Cooler Master cases usually do. APEVIA 2" Case speaker for $7

Everything else looks good to me. Nice build.
