I'm no expert but the build looks good to me.

If I may ask, why did you choose the Vertez 4 over a Samsung 128?

 

[skibum5767]

I believe the Vertex 4 is a little faster

Okay, If the samsung 830 is more reliable, I will go with that. Anything else you guys see? Or should I pull the trigger

I chose the 830 for my build as well. If your budget allows it, you could also replace your main hdd with some momentus xt's (but that's a stretch).

Just Realized, That while not always Idea, I might have to use wireless interent at certain times for gaming so i will need a wireless card. Any suggestions??

Spend less on the case. You don't need a full tower. Mid tower will be more than enough.

You are sure you need a BD drive?
