It's cheap and it has both, USB 2.0 and 3.0. Total USB ports I have = 8
That shouldn't be an issue for the gamer on a budget, and you can always get a front panel bay device for it if you need it in the future. USB 2.0 is already plenty fast.
To cut costs, I'd recommend temporarily dropping the HDD if you think there's anyway you can get away without it for a bit.
If you're just using your computer for games and music, with a little thought and effort, 120GB will get you by for awhile and your system will still be incredibly fast.
If you plan to download hi-def movies or TV series though, that HDD is a must; in which case you may want to consider waiting on the SSD till you have more cache. Both HDD and SSD prices will likely continue to drop, but HDD more drastically so--so if you can get by for the moment without it, there's 75$ back without losing gaming performance.
Besides that, unless you need its macros for specific gaming titles, you might want to at least temporarily substitute that gaming keyboard with a simple but reliable regular one.
For example, this Microsoft Keyboard: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6823109233
Or this Liteon one: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductRevi...6823107120
Could shave off at least $30
Oh, and as thousands of other CS gamers will tell you, the Razer Deathadder is worth every cent.
Good luck with your build!

Is this the profile of a bear?? Hmm, I didn't know bears were capable of playing css. Don't they break the keyboard with their massive paws? This is very peculiar and requires further investigation. If this is true, no one knows what kind of risks this might hold. They might electrocute themselves, maybe they become addicted to the game causing them to neglect their parental tasks. What must become of their offspring?
I will select a team consisting of the world's foremost scientists that will go about this scientific quest in the uttermost professional manner. This taskforce will carry the name "CANBURZREALLYPLAYCOUWNTERTRIKE - HUHWHUT????". I trust upon these men a task of huge importance, the fate of bearkind may depend on it. Godspeed men, Godspeed!
