Suggestions, alternatives appreciated.
I aim for an all around (photos, calendar & email, websurfing, writing, data analysis), not heavy gaming, so a quiet, moderate power rig with solid components. The main OS will be linux (currently Kubuntu), but will be dual, etc. boot (Win 7) and eventually VMs.
Case: SilverStone Temjin Series TJ08B-E
PSU: SeaSonic G360
Mobo: ASUS F2A85-M PRO
CPU: AMD A10-5800K
Cooling: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
SSD (for OS and Apps): SAMSUNG 840 Pro 128GB SSD
HDD Western Digital WD Green WD20EARX 2TB SATA 6.0Gb/s
BluRay LG 14X OEM Bare Drive burner
My Newegg public wish list is at

I feel least confident about the disk drive choices (SSD, HDD, BluRay) and this morning asked at the Silent Storage forum here about them:

I appreciate past help at SPCR forums and look forward to your comments on the system.
