I don't see a HDD. If you want to "go commando" and have a SSD only, I'd recommend the Samsung 840 (non PRO) 500GB. You could step down to a ASRock Extreme 6 or something to save some money.

I am using a western digital 1TB SATA Hd and an LG STA DVDRW

+1. Also I don't think your card is actually 40cm 🙂

Thank you for this. I had taken the amazon information which is incorrect decimal point in the wrong place 4.06 was listed as 40.6.
can anyone confirm that the graphics card and motherboard are compatible

Yeah any modern motherboard will take PCI-E graphics cards.
