Opinions on my build?

yes it is dual channel, 2 sticks means dual channel. the case is great and the mobo is fine, but why that psu, all you need is this for that unless you plan for a better gpu later on, also that is a very weak gpu if that matter to you.

oh and this mobo is a better brand, same price, and will let you use the i5's igpu which is plenty powerfull for everyday stuff, so there is no need for the gpu is you get this, and also i forgot to mention that don't you need a new windows disk

Many thanks for the input.
I have intentions of putting a 550Ti into it within the next few days but intended to use that as a temp.
The PSU was chosen just because of the fact that I do intend of progressively upgrading my GPU as I go on.

I changed the MOBO to the suggested. As said, many thanks.

Also, what are your thoughts on the cooler?

Edit: I'm also looking for a good 7200RPM 1TB drive that isnt too expensive. Any ideas?
 
that would do fine, but i'd recomend a little more power than that, and also a different brand gpu than that if they are close, these will be better

first psu actually has more power and may be better, second has a little better value with rebate, but there are no guarantees with rebates, also theis case is also a great quality one and cheaper, also looks a lot cooler too, other is nice but this one is pretty beasty once you see it.
