Main thing is your ram will not match your motherboard, as it is laptop ram.
Here is pretty much the same ram but for your motherboard

Besides that I would maybe think of spending a little more on a faster drive. I think those drivers are meant more for storage and low power consumption.
Maybe this:

or for $10 more you could double the size with

I'm no expert on motherboards either but that one is micro form factor which means it is very small and thus and doesn't have many PCI slots. I would consider getting a normal sized one.

As for the case, that's up to you. Depends on how much you want to spend and what you like the look of. I'd recommend a mid size case. I have this one and I like it:

but there are tons of options and it's up to you. Just realize that full size cases are pretty huge.
 
i would agree with microtomer, get regular size mobo, or least look at other micro ATX board with few more features.

for case also first time get mid size caes and suggest getting one with PSU mounted on bottom. unless you want to be real flashy with case i suggest just pick something decent, look at reviews most and best reviews and it'll work out for you great.

this is the one i've and i love it as majority of the items can be removed/add without the need of screw driver. has great room and looks good too.
 
If its just for MMOs and you use a console for everything else then this should be more than enough. :)

PSU - could consider Antec BP550. $50, modular. Or Antec NEO ECO 620C at same price as CX600, but I believe seasonic platform is better.

Mobo - spend more to get something support AM3+
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128490

HDD - I remember seagate 7200.11 is not that good. May be go for cheaper 1TB?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148697

DVD burner - get 24x ??
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106289

Video card - SAPPHIRE Vapor-X version just $5 more, worth considering

This looks nice sense every thing i need is there and i do not know much it'd be helpful to just have the parts id need.
 
it may be better to go sandy bridge (newest Intel I3/I5/I7) or to wait for AMD's Bulldozer series of processors as they will probably be more powerful. just my $0.02 haha
 
Is this bulldozer thing people are talking about really that good? Though im only intending to play mmos mainly so i don't thing i would need something that top notch if it is top notch
 
 
Another thing when i look at other peoples builds they buy cooling fans is it neccessary to buy one to? or do the items that need them come with stock ones
 
$785 shipped. $720 net.

The stock heatsink and paste is fine as long as you don't overclock too much.

From the suggestions above, and 1 of my own.
