First is there anything I am missing, like I said this will be my first build so if you need to suggest something and embarrass me please do! I mostly game but do very light home movie editing.
Also i can't wait on this i need to move on this within a week or so. Thanks, hopefully i'm not annoying people with my posts the last couple of days.

Ok no offense here, but if you could just type out each item instead of posting links to them it would help this process along much faster. You can still leave the links but just list the item. I really don't need to see a picture of something to say if its good or not.

Just a thought

Seems Ok to me. PSU s/b fine.

Why a dvd rom AND a dvd r/w?

I see you do home movie editing, so I understand a dvd r/w. But I backup a lot of stuff on cd's cuz the media is so cheap. Dunno, maybe blank dvd's are cheap too? Otherwise, I'd swap the dvd rom for cd r/w to burn cheap backups.

My .02 worth :)

Have a nice weekend.

I do believe a DVD-R/W can write to CD-R media also!!!
A DVD-ROM drive is good for both copying DVD's and as a CD-ROM reader; some DVD-r/w's don't do such a good job at actually reading cd's and dvd's
