Looks great! Just swap out the PSU for an EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze one. It's a similar price, but EVGA has a really good reputation for their PSUs.

And probably the world.

Your build looks really good I just have one question, is the ssd you chose the v300? if so replace it with a OCZ or Mushkin 120gb.

Also would i be able to overclock my I5 in the feature if i saved up money and got a liquid cooler?
