Go with the Corsair RAM, the Gigabyte Motherboard and get this power supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139001
Also, you would be wise to edit the topic title so it actually describes what you want help with, such as 'New PC components - help please' - meaningless thread titles usually see the thread get closed/deleted.
You already have a hard drive/CD drive you want to use?

Well tbh this is my first build, so I am not sure just how much ventilation is needed, and what kind of things to look for in terms of ventilation. So while those cases i listed may not be the best, should it be sufficient and roughly what would i need to do to get those cases to be sufficient in terms of cooling?

You really want a case that supports large fans, but not absurdly large, the sweet spot is 120mm or 140mm.
Oh, and by the way, 150GB Raptors have reliability issues compared to other drives - I'd recommend you change to either the 300GB Velociraptor or the smaller 74GB version.

What if i dropped a 120 fan in the rear for ventilation on the Xclio? Would that be sufficient? I read alot of reviews on it on newegg and no one complained of cooling issues. Actually every one said it did a great job of cooling.

It does an acceptable job of cooling, but no moreso than your average PC case. Trust me, it's cooling performance is far from exemplary.

None of the cases I listed your thing?
I have very unique tastes :p
I do like that case, but i see the USB ports and such on top as a hassle in my case. I use my headphones alot and i like to have one of my USB drives run to my front USB port for quick access to transfer data between PCs. So I need something with access to my USB ports on the front or the side.

Well if you're set on that Xclio case, it will do, and will cool your PC sufficiently, but it isn't anything remarkable - I was merely recommending other products if you were only buying that case based on its cooling, because it's not exemplary, but it's perfectly fine though, there's nothing badly wrong with it.
