Your motherboard is more than enough to get you to 3ghz

The metal box is for your hard drives

No, the 2 on the side are for your GPU and CPU and then it has one 120mm in front of the HDD cage and a 120mm in the back

If thats a concern, and you only have drive, you could buy a 5.25" to 3.5" bracket and mount the HDD in a 5.25" bay and remove the HDD bracket

Either case is fine.... matter of taste

And indeed.. the Silverstone gets a 8.5/10 from me also. Solid, single rail PSU.

( I know one user who has two of those exact Silverstones, and powers two Pentium D805 rigs (no video to speak off though) of one of those PSUs. In total thus four rigs of two PSUs. The PSUs work like a champ.
