Go onto the /g/ thread on 4chan, they know everything about everything when it coems to PC builds. They saved me 250$ on a build, too bad Im broke though :(

RAM is decent, make sure to set it up in dual-channel.

PSU is good (didn't know they had a 700w model), modular is always nice.

Can't say much about the CPU or mobo from personal experience, I'm more of an AMD guy :P But I have heard some negative things about the MSI P67A-GD53 in regards to the BIOS (namely overclocking).

Spinpoint F3's are simply amazing for the price/performance ratio. Got 2 1TB Spinpoint F3's about 2 weeks ago for $50 each from Newegg, fast read/write speeds and no noise.

The optical drives are pretty standard as always.

The graphics card seems good, but I'm a programmer, not a gamer, it's not really my forte'.

The case isn't necessarily my style (I prefer plain/minimalistic), but if it suits your needs then so be it. NZXT is by no means a second rate brand.

I don't really think it should matter what the case looks like, you're the only one that has to look at it. The only two things that should be influencing your decision are price and functionality; whether your shit is going to fit in there properly.

I think that case is ugly and overpriced. Everything else looks pretty good though. 800 dollars to play boring current gen games.
