Don't get a v300 series drive they're slower than most other ssd's. Why a $400 case?

you can get a really good case for maybe 100 bucks I've gotten a couple nice ones for less than 80. no need to spend that much when you could put that money elsewhere.

You know how it is, the cow goes "moo", the dog goes "woof" and the gamer goes "The PvP is unbalanced."

I don't think you really need such a expensive case, and don't get the v300 SSD, better off with something like this. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz75e500bam

take a look at this, http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Samsung-850-Evo-500GB-vs-Kingston-SSDNow-V300-480GB/3477vs3480

they changed the chip in the v300 in early 2014 so it became much slower.

i just noticed that your list doesnt have gpu and cooler's price, no wonder the price seemed low even though you picked expensive parts
