1. GTX 550 is overpriced. At that price, you can get a 6790 or 6770, or GTX 460/SE even, that will out perform the 550

2. ModXstream pro is a pretty dated platform, something like an antec neo ECO is a far more modern unit:

3. 5900RPM hdd? Samsung F3 instead maybe:

4. Interesting choice of case, but that is really a personal preference thing, so no comment

5. C43 is a decent board, but don't expect the 5GHz OC that everyone vaunts with SB. the C43 will not bring you there.
