I'm a little worried about that mobo after reading some of the reviews on newegg, but I do like the built-in Bluetooth. I'm definitely open to alternative Mobos without bluetooth, though.

You don't need 80GB, a 64gb is good enough. Plus this is SATA III & faster.

I don't think you need that case, but if you want it you can get it. I think the HAF 922 or Storm Scout would make a better case and save you money. But your decision.

^ agree, especially the case...I wouldn't spend anything more than $100 on a case because I want better components in my computer and maybe add a hard drive for other things?
