It's a decent start. But I would change the following:
- Change the PSU for this higher quality PSU instead:

- If that Aerocool case is like the other Aerocool cases I've worked with, it's not a high enough quality case that justifies the price. I recommend any of these other cases instead:
$100 - Phanteks Enthoo Pro Full Tower Case
$110 - Phanteks Enthoo Pro PH-ES614P_WT White Full Tower Case
$103 - Antec 1100 V2 ATX Case
$110 - NZXT Phantom PHAN-001WT White Full Tower ATX Case
$110 - NZXT Phantom PHAN-001BK Black Full Tower ATX Case
$120 - Corsair Vengeance Series C70 Gunmetal Black ATX Case
$120 - Corsair Obsidian Series 450D ATX Case
$136 - NZXT Phantom 530 Black Full Tower ATX Case
$140 - Corsair Obsidian Series 750D ATX Case
$140 - Corsair Graphite Series 730T ATX Case
$150 - NZXT Phantom 630 White Windowed Full Tower ATX Case
$150 - Phanteks Enthoo Luxe Full Tower Case
$158 - NZXT Phantom 630 Gunmetal Full Tower Case
$170 - Corsair Graphite Series 600T Arctc White Full Tower Case
$180 - Corsair Graphite Series 760T Black Full Tower Case

for that kind of money, i would think it foolish not to have a SSD drive in addition to a storage drive. Heck, I wouldnt buy a $200 laptop without upgrading to an SSD. If you have a microcenter or frys around you, or any computer parts store, I would go in and look at the cases. its obvious when you get close and touch them which are well made and which arent. Ive had an aerocool case, and while it was pretty cool (at the time), it was thin sheet metal and lacked features to make the build easier and cleaner. Ive had good luck with antec and lian li cases.
