    What about PSU, Memory, Optical drive?

    Are the two hard drives intentional? (also one of the dives is a 2.5" ideal for laptops) you would best pick up a 3.5".

    Are you planning to overclock at all?

    Geeks has that case cheaper..
    Just a heads up...
    A. Acrylic cases are delicate...
    there are several places they commonly crack.
    B. They have poor airflow compared to most modern cases, unless your willing to chance modifying it.
    C. unless you do an AMAZING job of wiring it tends to look a bit tacky...
    I suggest spending some real time tidying up ALL wiring

    Well I would'nt leave something that you need out..... (that would be silly).

    I gather you have a mouse also.... If you are planning on using that terabyte caviar green for your OS... I recomend you pick up this caviar black instead.

    Aaron, that X2 is an AM3 cpu and the board is AM2/AM2+. If going the X2 route you will want to consider this motherboard:
    Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-MA785G-UD3H AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

    The Regor 240 X2 is cheaper than the 7850 you picked out (Aaron linked to it) and nearly as fast. The AM3 motherboard I linked to might be about $10 more than the one you picked. However, if you switch to this GPU, you'll save about $20 and have a better, faster GPU.

    How are you so sure the one you chose is better? Have you tried both?
