now you have enough to buy thermal cooling, wire holders for cable management, and etc.

the case has 4x 120, 1x 140mm fans, theyre all blue led, including the psu.

your motherboard wont have aac, but its am3, and its future proof, with enough sata cables for your liking, though some might get covered when u upgrade to a bigger card. also the antec 300 can take a 11.5 videocard.

Not bad. :P Did I mention my bro gave me his alienware though? :P Yeah Torian, I feel like a god right now. :P
