your case, mobo psu and cpu cooler are better then ode, in other words should last you longer.
You said you don't game so the gpu won't matter to you but for example the 7 year warranty and track record of the psu does matter to you right? but its upto you, IMHO the quality parts are worth the $180 difference. |

At the end of the day you may have spent a little more but you got more quality/reliability in return for some parts, IMHO thats worth it.
I'm not saying ode is not good, its great performance for the price, but personally I like to get higher quality/performing parts like psu and etc. |
