I have the same CPU. i would recommend using a Intel Dual core though. im kicking myself for not going Intel. I would highly recommend a Quad core (will last you longer)

I have worked with that case and i would highly recommend that you look at other cases. it has very little air circulation and will keep heat inside (it has foam lined doors)
I have this case... and its the best case i have ever found. you will love it no matter who you are. It is pure air circulation.

I would go for a Hard drive with a 32MB cache, something like this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148288
Its 10$ more and has 100more GB and a 32MB cache. you will notice a difference in Xfering files.

The power supply is great. I love modular power supplies and hope to see more of them in the future. I have the Real power 1k watt and it is my most favorite of all that iv owned.
