the only change im not sure about is the keyboard. i remember there was a reason the sidewinder X4 was recommended over the X6, but i'm damned if i can remember why. i still changed it over because im sure it was a good reason

this build is also SLI ready. if you want a graphics upgrade just buy another 560Ti, slot it in, and youve got an instant ~95% graphics boost. the motherboard in your build could not do SLI at non bottlenecking speeds (i dont think it can do SLI atall)

there are better cases in this price range than the shinobi (eg, zalman Z9) but ive kept the case because i assume its something you really like the look of, and the looks of the case are more important than a slightly colder graphics card
 
Cheers for the advice.

The only reason I was going for the x6 over the x4 keyboard was due to the fact that the x4 is currently out of stock at overclockers.

Having looked at the zalman z9 I also like the look of that are there any other cases in that price range you could recommend?
