Video card? Power supply?
As for ram, you need DDR3 with that mobo. That makes me all warm and squishy inside.
That case is pretty cool looking. Just remember you have to open and close that door on it. lol

I've seen far too many cheap cases that just get annoying. I think it's worth it to spend a little bit more for something that is solid. Buzzes and rattles really get annoying :)

Ill probably get DDR3 more expensive but faster... I'm just in the planning stage...For the case i agree with William.. I had a nemesis case... It was alright but after a year or so it started sounding loud...And as for the video card im using my old one untill i can save up for a BFG 8800... ITs a 7800 GT
