i am not worried with the other parts at this moment: PSU and case
Click to expand...

Well we still need to know that info. What's the point of recommending parts if you're just gonna pair it with a shitty case and/or PSU?
 
All righty then. Do note that PSU is currently $40, $25 lower than the standard $65. That's a sales price and it's not gonna stay in stock for long. So I highly highly recommend getting that PSU ASAP if you don't already have it.

I'd spend the extra $1 for DDR3 1333 RAM for better RAM compatibility in the future:
$41 - G.Skill Ripjaw Series F3-10666CL9S-4GBRL 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM

Besides that, your build looks good to me.
 
awesome thanks! i'll switch that ram out and when i get my paycheck next tuesday, i'll order everything (-the case) Thanks!
 
if not, i'll have to put the psu off for 2 weeks, which means i'll get the case and psu at the same time.
