Case is your preference but cooler master is known for good ones, as is Antec. Your hard drive is good, WD and Seagate are both respected although many people prefer multiple smaller hard drives rather than one large one in case of drive failure. Your videocard is not bad but in general the "super mega hyper black overclocked" versions are WAY overpriced compared to the non-overclocked version of that exact same card. DVD drive looks good as long as it's SATA, they really are much faster.

 

Power supply... Did you think we were kidding when we said this was the ONE FREAKING PART to just buy what we told you to and not argue and we'd explain later if you wanted? If you want an 850w one Corsair or PC power and cooling can do that for you for a good price and FAR more reliably. You can even get it modular if you want to pay a bit more....

 

(continuing)

 

Like I said before I had to leave for class there's no reason to get an off-brand power supply when not only are Corsairs top of the line hardware but also have some of the best PRICES as well. Take their 850w model for example, $130. Seriously, just get that one if you absolutely positively MUST have a power supply that's a good 300 watts over what your computer will EVER use even at maximum power. I've got an overclocked quadcore, gtx 260, bungton of fans, and the damn thing has BLING and I still dont even strain my 620 watt psu.

 

Your motherboard choice is also questionable. EVGA makes great graphics cards and has excellent service... but since you're still using x58 for your northbridge you don't have any reason not to go with the technologically better Asus boards like This P6t Deluxe. Asus and gigabyte are sort of the go-to companies for motherboards, probably because the competitive benchmarkers tend to use their stuff. You picked good ram though; Mushkin, Gskill, OCZ, Corsair, and Geil are all pretty good and Gskill is up there.

 

And lastly good choice on the CPU. All you need now is to go to SVC.com and pick a heatsink, as always I recommend the chart-topping Noctua's or Thermalright 120 Ultra Extreme series.
