Now, i'd like the advise of you guys. Got a suggestion or want to point out a problem in the build, feel free to tell me. I'm just worried about measurements that will work out, and about power supply, voltage,...

Note that this is the first pc that i'm trying to build, so if you got any tips for extreme noobs, pls feel free to tell me.

That build looks solid, it should be very good for gaming. I would take the sound card as well, even that model is well above onboard audio chips.
 
Personally, for myself or if i were building this for a client:

1. Would not use a seagate drive, western digital black instead (reliability)
2. OCZ DDR3 1600mhz (performance)
3. Wouldn't bother with the sound card unless you're doing true surround sound (if you're using stereo or 2.1 the onboard is great)

The new seagates are fine. all new hard drives have 5 year warranty.

OCZ memory uses cheap IC's that dont overclock very well, prone to failure

A sound card will make a huge difference. even the xtreme audio which is low end is way ahead of onboard.
