Hi,
Building a gaming/everything else PC for myself. Stretched my budget to include 560gtx, new i5 and since I went that far.. i've thrown a SSD in there as well

Anything anyone would change without raising the budget??

Thanks in advance!

Case I would suggest getting the CoolerMaster Elite 430 instead:

And for optical drive, I would suggest paying a little extra and get the LG GH22NS50 instead:

I bought a Sony Optiarc drive before to replace the failing drive on my mom's PC, but her PC would freeze as soon as a CD/DVD being put into the drive to load. After swapping my own drive with her Sony, my drive works perfectly on her PC, and the Sony works perfectly on mine. If you googling a bit, you would find that it's not uncommon that the Sony Optiarc drive has compatability issue.

Thanks. Good advice on the DVDRW drive!

Im not a fan of windows though, want something fairly sleek.

Look at either of the Silverstones then, PS02 or PS03, not much more
Also you could change RAM to Geil, just as good and cheaper
