DVD drive- LG SATA DVD-Burner-$30

Case/PSU:
Cooler Master Centurion 5 with 460W power supply- $100
https://9289.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=74_106&products_id=1485


TOTAL- About $600


What do you think of these choices? Which RAM should i get? I use my computer for multitasking and light gaming mostly. Should i save a few bucks on the RAM with the kingston, or go for the corsair? Is the corsair overkill for light gaming? This is my first build, and im unsure about how to overclock RAM, but i guess i could learn. I want to be able to play something like COD4 on highest settings, and be set for the next few years without upgrading my computer.

Please review/evaluate my build.

Thanks
