Looking good

Only criticism would be lower profile ram but that's all.

I'd change the RAM to this:

Low profile, so won't interfere with bigger air coolers (the panther should fit fine with either RAM kit though)..

Otherwise, all grand.. Great spec!

Personally I'd pick a higher wattage power supply...

Trusted one that comes to mind is the corsair cx600m, I'm mobile at the moment so no funky basket in my post....

is 520w not enough for this set up? i could stretch to a Seasonic G series 550w '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply since it is on special this week.

520w will be fine, The Antec is a quality unit, I think its better than the Corsair.
