Your build won't work - you are matching an X58/1366 LGA motherboard with an 1156LGA/P55 CPU. The RAM is wrong too - for that processor you need dual not triple channel. I would also go for a cheaper AMD build.
As above - this needs reconfiguring.
Just looked at your supplier.
I do see the Antec 300:
Komplett.ie - Antec Three Hundred Midi Tower Black
As an aside, case gurus seem to think very highly of the Antec Solo:
Komplett.ie - Antec Solo Miditower, Piano
A bit cheaper than the 900.
The Solo gets quite high marks for being a quiet case.
Too many openings in a case is often just a way for noise to escape. Cases often run just as cool with fewer holes if the fans are appropriate. I personally would avoid vents on the top side.
If noise typically does not bother you, then go with your first choice. Antec generally gets high marks, but some are quieter than others.
Well, I have 2 SSDs. One OCZ 60GB Vertex and an Intel 80GB. The speed boost is absolutely amazing (and I have only an old AMD 4800+ CPU on one system and a Q6600 on another system). Boot times of 12 sec are common and program calls are instant. Data access time is a few nanoseconds versus 15 to 20ms on a spinning disk (that is thousands of times slower). And data transfer rates are over 200MB/sec sequential read versus a typical 50 to 70MB on rotating disks. One guy reported 600MBs with a quad Raid0.
On the picture note that the program cannot report access times in nanoseconds. 0.1ms is the smallest unit it knows.
Frostmourne could be right.
I haven't even looked at the mobo and assumed Minotaur had already scoped that out.
If you are locked into that mobo, you may have to switch processors.
