Do NOT get the Liteon drive... they're terrible! LG has worked the best for me.

I recommend you do more reading about the P5B Deluxe.  Just google you'll find many complaints about high temperatures.  I almost bought the same board today and decided all these complaints couldn't be ignorant users.

Decided to go with the ASUS P5W DH DELUXE INTEL 975X CHIPSET instead.  $185 at www.mwave.com, appears to be a somewhat superior board (and better chipset for gaming) than the one you listed, all for $5 more.

The Power Supply unit is one of the most important purchases you can make.  The Case+PSU you linked has a complaint about the PSU blowing up.

I highly recommend you purchase a case that you can use for many years, and separately purchase a power supply unit that is highly rated.  A bad PSU can shorten the life of all your other components.  Read power supply reviews at www.tomshardware.com and let the experts recommend a tested one.  They include economical choices in their reviews, too.
