Your opinions and advice on this build, Read on...?

ok, yes that system looks like a bit overkill, but it will do the job. SATA 3 very expensive right now and not much support for it at the moment. LITE_ON have always been the best optical drives for me as far as reading disks goes. I don't know how you picked your case, but there definiitelty are better. ANTEC, COOLERMASTER & THEMALTAKE are some of my faves. PSU=excellent, graphics card = very nice - ram - nice - processor? if you want to save a couple bucks the 920 is very respectable and should do just fine with that system. And think about getting a diff case too, that's all all else fine.
