Looks pretty decent from what I can tell, the only thing I can comment on is that the PSU is probably more powerful than what is needed. That isn't really a problem though, it allows for further expansion and it never hurts to have a solid PSU in your computer. Depends on how tight your budget is.

Looks really good. How do you like the Antec 902? I was thinking about getting that one or the Azza Solano 1000. How did you decide on that mother board?

I don't know why people spend so much on a case unless of course they are going to show it off. My new build will have a case I picked up off the street. Mikeartie's prices are high because he is using the new i7 from Intel and a lot of ram. I don't see an os listed so I guess the end price will be even higher. In any case Mikeartie is one of those people who has never responded like many others on this forum. Maybe he can't afford to.
