- Apevia X-QBOII MicroATX case w/ 500W PSU
What is its efficency?

Get PSU with as high efficency as possible, I would go for 400-450W with 85%+ for this box, check PSUs from here: http://80plus.com/manu/psu/psu_join.aspx

I also have LG DVDRW, never had any issues with them.

Better get 2 x 4GB instead of 4 x 2GB - 2 times lower power usage.

- Intel G45 Micro Motherboard w/ X4500HD Graphics
I would try Q45/Q35 for lower power usage, but G45 should also be ok here.

Get the low power 'S' version, its 65W TDP instead of 95W:

Maybe e8600 will be better idea here, most things should be working faster with faster 2 cores (3.3) instead of slower 4 cores (2.8), and again, lower power usage ;p

Stay away from Seagate, you drive will die in notime, also Seagates have too high Random Acces time, get WD Black or WD RE3 for speed and/or Green Edition for storage.
