can't be sure, but casecom is probably a load of crap. get a reputable brand like Hiper, Enermax, OCZ, or Seasonic.

other than that, it's a good build.
for gfx cards, a geforce 7900gt should be fine, but it depends on what monitor your using, eg there's no use in getting a x1950xtx if your monitor is limited to 1280x1024.
