I am a normal user and not a heavy gamer and not going to overclock the system or planing to have multiple video cards. (That is why I have chosen this motherboard which doesn't support SLI)

Also I want to know what options I have to select in the bois for this type of memory.

You should get lower latency memory for the same price:

It's just a matter of manually setting up the memory in the BIOS, which we can help you do when it's together.

This HP DVD burner is better:

Other than that, seems fine.

Yeah, as proximon said get OCZ its really good and in most cases less expensive then corsair.

-Great build, you might consider getting a full tower though to fit your card, because you might some problems with positioning your hardware depending on the mid tower(your hard drive might take away space that should be your video cards...etc), but i as i said just to be safe I would get a full tower.

Well I was worring about that really... But any inche bigger, the case will not fit in the designated space of my computer desk.

I will keep the case last ... I will check the card if it will not fit I will buy a bigger one ....

but how can I check it without checking it physically ?? is there like compatibility website checker ??!!

It's a matter of looking at the motherboard tray and seeing where the board will be. As a rule, Cooler Master provides the most space between the forward edge of the board and the drive cages. In some cases you can simply avoid using the drive bays near the video card.... in your case it looks like you have a side-mounted HD cage.
