The only issue I see there is the Motherboard.

I strongly suggest you go for a P8Z68 Deluxe or PRO rev3 for upgradability in the future.

the P67 chipset is old now and its all about Z68 these coming months. They offer performance that is pretty much identical, and a bunch of new features.

Other than that its a beautiful looking Build. Enjoy it :D

Looks pretty sweeet with two reservations. 1.) I'd look at getting a Corsair Force 3 SSD @330 bucks. That will give you the same size of SSD and double your read/write performance. 2.) I'd look to see if the case can support the H100 versus the H80 water cooler. The H100 will run the same temps as an H80 without producing as much noise due to radiator size.

that power supply is non-standard and will NOT fit in that case

# Unique power supply construction compatible with the following Antec cases:
- Twelve Hundred
- P183
- P193
- DF-85

normal power supplies are about 3.5 inches tall while the one you selected is 4.7
