I actually like your case selection. I can't stand the vast majority of cases as they're often garish and look like they were made for a 12 year old. I prefer sleek and understated.

Only thing i would suggest is maybe picking up a 1TB HDD for storage to go with your SSD? I like to keep my SSD clean and use it only to boot the OS and software, while keeping most of my files on the HDD. I think you can pick up a decent 1TB HDD for anywhere between $25-$50.

I already have a 1TB hard drive I bought this summer. It's currently in my computer now. I'll switch it over when I build the new one.
