Did I miss anything? Using DVD burner from my old computer in this one so that is not needed.

Looks good to me, but since it looks like you're on a budget you might want to look at a different case and save some money. I can highly recommend the Coolermaster cm690 as a contender with the 900 (I personally think the 690 is better). The egg is running free shipping on it now as well.

I think the 900 would be very nice, and you probably want the bomb side window.

2nd on the CM-690.

Looks similar to my 720 build which I just ordered a couple of days ago (got the CM-690 though) but I decided to go the AM3 route so I can upgrade to the 955 when it gets cheaper. Just something to think about, it won't be much more between the motherboard and ddr3 ram, maybe $60. However, looks nice, good luck on your build.

So I ordered it. Only thing I changed was the ram last minute. Went with the OCZ platinum so it didn't have the big heatpipes on it to get in the way of the CPU heatsink. Hope everything goes well haven't built a computer in like 3 years haha.
