It looks good to me!

I would go with a different PSU and SSD.

Get a PSU from one of these brands: Corsair, Seasonic, Silverstone, Enermax, XFX, Thermaltake, or Cooler Master.

I would recommend getting this SSD instead:

OCZ's Agility series SSD's are pretty crappy. The Crucial M4 is a beast when it comes to both speed and reliability. Just remember to update its firmware.

Thanks, will look into a new PSU and will probably use that ssd

5

Nothing wrong with OCZ agilitys for the price. Update the firmware, and they are mildly slower. 

6

+1 for Cruicial M4, it is on sale for less than that OCZ and has 128GB

7

But why pay the same amount of money or more for something that is of less quality?

8

I just noticed that the link the post changed to an OCZ Vertex 3, which is probably still one of the best SSDs out there. I'm not 100 percent sure, but I think the Curcial M4 still beats it as long as you update the firmware though.

OCZ agility has pretty slow read/write and alledgedly gets subsantially worse after the first write cycle. Vortex, m4 or samsung are good options. the way i see it... if you want the benefits of an SSD then its worth buying a damn fast one! thats the main point of SSD... speed! I would buy a smaller capacity SSD now. and a save for a high capacity purchase in a year or so.

Samsung designs and manufactures its own NAND, Controller, and DRAM Cache components. This doesn't seem to be the case with most other SSDs, resulting in reliablility  / compatability issues.

Samsung 128gig Sata III, also plenty of reviews of verified owners to be read as well.
