Looks a solid build,Excellent choice on the Cpu cooler,You will not be dissapointed :)

I would change your DVD drive,Ive had two sonys in the past and they have both failed very quickly.
How come you chose just a DVD drive and not a DVD Writer?

Hows this for ya

And change your hard drive to this

That hard drive you choosen was very expensive,i cant see whats so special about it.

Yeah i like that hard drive didnt see it when i was selecting.
Also the reason i chose that dvd drive was because idk what i was doing on that hahahah never had to pick one.
 
I think with the components above and the DVD Writer & Hard drive i picked out you will have a solid build :)
