Thanks for all the great formatting.
I would not use a WD Green drive for anything other than storage, it's way too slow. Especially for an i5 and a GTX460 system.
WD black drives are pretty good for only a few bucks more.
Good PSU, small case.

I would switch to this Samsung spinpoint F3 hard drive.

I think if you ran SLI'd GTX460's in that case, space and heat may become an issue.

I agree with aford10 that it is roomy enough for your build.
I'm just saying after 2.5 years the 300 is starting to lose its edge in the $75 shipped price range. You can find deals like the 900 a few days ago on newegg for $65.

Any recommendations on a case?

There's a nice deal on this Cooler Master right now.
