Hey guys, Im looking at building a desktop for audio recording. This is my first build so im, well, uneducated i guess, on some of this stuff, and i could use some help. First off, the case. I have been looking at getting the Cooler Master HAF 922,

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

But my concern is that, since Ill be recording in the same room, is that it will be loud. Does anyone have any experience with this case? Also, since this is my first time building a computer, I want to make sure that im not forgetting anything or going to buy anything that, wont work together.. Thats the last thing i was is to get this whole thing together, try and turn it on, to find out that i messed something up because of a stupid mistake. So, I was wondering if this seemed like a decent setup and if yall had any suggestions on anything that would work better with what im wanting to do.

OS: some version of Win7 64bit

I will also need a good firewire card, which im not sure what to get yet, and I was also thinking of getting this to keep cool a little better than stock, and ive heard that its very quiet

Could you please post up the names of the parts in your build? It would be insanely helpful. It's rather annoying to open so many links.

All the links are broken anyway, they just lead to the Newegg home page.

also i was suggested a different motherboard that is a little bit more expensive, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
The Asus Maximus V Gene, is it worth the extra like $60? i mean, I looked at it and it all looks pretty much the same spec wise, besides the PCI slots and sata connectors, but it looks like it has less? Does this mobo make up for that in other areas?
