Ok thx for the power supply recommendation, but I can't seem to find the antec three hundred two case. Any other suggestions?
 
I've also considered switching to this wireless card instead, but was curious if anyone else had any other suggestions that worked best.
HAWKING HAWNU1 IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wireless-150N Network Adapter with Range Amplifier

Thanks
 
Oh ok cool. Found it. Any idea if the lights on it can be turned off? Not really a fan of the lit up cases.
 
@estei thx for the info on the optical drive. I'll make that change. :D

Click to expand...

Actually looks like a great build in my opinion. I agree with the other guy on the PSU though... the Antec New series is much better, and cheaper. ;)
