First Build! Need suggestions

Looks pretty good, except it looks like you cheaped out on the power supply, there are probably better ones out there for not much more money. See this thread for more info.

I would suggest getting an A-Data SP550 240GB SSD since the Kingston's aren't the greatest when it comes to longevity.

Have you looked into the Fractal Design Define series of cases?

And do you have Windows?
