I'd replace that HDD with this one: WD6402AAEX 6gb/s 64MB cache.

Would be much faster and more reliable when gaming as GPU wont be slown down by slow read of texture files from HDD due to larger cache. (This HDD is only £8 more so really good value).

The GPU is nice, the CPU is too, and the motherboard has sata 6G and USB 3.0 so thats great too.

As you're using stock cooling for cpu, something like an antec, or the PCS gaming case, or even the HAF 922, as long as there's plenty of airflow, your parts will last much longer.

yeah that one is just as good, just you're not making use of the 6GB/s speeds.

Also, all cases will support USb 3.0 as the ports and controller is located on the back I/O panel anyway.
