Final PC build

I think everything is in order. Just would like to know if that PSU can handle the MSI, 3 fans , vid card, dvd burner and one hard drive. Also will the ram work well with the MSI board? I'm going to order this next week if all goes well. Budget was $800. Also how long would you think I can keep this PC the way it is? Only games I'll play are afew RPG and RTS. Hopefully this will be my last list 🙂 Thank you everyone that has answered all my questions these past few days!

looks fine, no problems. the psu is fine. im sure you can use this computer for 2 years without changing a thing.
 
although the antec is good, the fortron 450w for $50 saves you money and adds a little more amps. im a little behind on the burner, but the benq dw1640 should be a lot better than that lite-on for the same price. get 1x1024 ram for future upgrading purposes, performance might be noticable, but still nothing to cry over. western digital is great, but seagate comes with 5 year warranty.
