Personally, I'd get a nicer case. If you're going to be gaming a lot, a cordless mouse and keyboard aren't recommended due to lag. The rest of that all looks good, though.

Nice except you cheaped out on the case... your still going to be into it for $50 ish after shipping. Spend $50 more and you will get a much better case and it will be more fun to build.

Lian-Li and Coolermaster make the best looking and engineered cases IMO.

lol you beat me to it.

Yep agree on the mouse comment as well...the MX510 mouse is great and the Logitech Elite keyboard is THE one to have.

I was thinking you guys proably wouldn't like the case, but that's why I linked it. The reviews are all positive. I am thinking of upgrading though.

On the keybd/mouse issue:
I will be gaming, so I should get a corded keyboard/mouse? I thought the MX700 was made for gaming.

For the hardware you are getting, Id get a better case which means $75-$120 for it. I love my Logitech MX for bluetooth. Lag? What lag?
