I would change the motherboard to an Asus P7P55D (NO need for one more expensive than this), ensure the ram is on the QVL, and change the hard drive to a WD Black. If you want a Nvidia video card, I'd get a 200 series, not a 9000 series. Cases are personal preference, but I prefer the quality of Antec and Coolermaster cases.

No, the standard P7P55D, not the Evo. Save your money!

Oh yeah, is this build going to be fast and can it play call of duty on high settings?
