Since I plan on using an i3, should I only get the 1333 ram, or will the 1600 ram work?

Go ahead and save a couple bucks and get the 1333mhz RAM yes, make sure its 1.5V.

None that I can think of, thats a pretty good deal. That system will beat the crap out of WoW. The computer case is a little on the cheap side, but if you're not picky, it wont matter too much.

Last few Question before I order tonight.

for world of warcraft .. is a GeForce GTX 560 or Radeon HD 6870 Better

and is the psu enough power for this build, there is a few cheaper more watt ones, but from what i read Corsair makes a good product.

would a cd drive from a 3 year old computer work, or do i need a new one, due to new connections??
thanks for everyones thoughts, hopefully this time next week ill be up and running my new i3
