Any suggestions?

 

[RJC]

Will the hard drive be used for storage or boot disc?

If boot disc I would look at the Samsung F3 or the WD black.

 

[Stag]

Any particular reason, is the performance that different?

 

[RJC]

There will be a reasonable performance difference.

How about a modular psu, that case is a bit small to be able to hide unused cables easily.

Agree on the samsung F3 recommendation.

 

[RJC]

You could look at the OCZ modular PSU, but I would keep with the Corsair, used several in the past and not had any issue's with them.

Looks like a nice all round build, Corsair and OCZ both make very nice PSUs, just depends how fussy you are about keeping your case tidy.
