Hi!
I am interested in building a new computer for the first time this summer, preferably as soon as possibly (hopefully this week). The problem is that I have no idea what I am doing and have been asking around a lot. I have gotten many recommendations, but still need revisions on my build, which is a little over than the budget.

The problem is, I can't find the right case and keyboard, added with the fact that the total price without them is already over the budget (disregarding the price of shipping and handling). Compatibility issues with one part and another is a concern I have because I don't want to buy parts that will not fit with one another.
I was wondering if you guys can help revise my build, whether it be mouse or motherboard. Some notes:
- I was recommended the 850 W PSU for future upgrades. However, I don't plan on upgrading until 2 years later at the earliest.
- I am particularly interested in LEDs (for some odd reason) and am lenient towards black cases and peripherals with blue LEDs.
- From what I have read, Cherry MX Brown keyboards are the best, so I prefer them a little (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823162029)
- I live in Hawaii and have neither newegg premium nor amazon prime membership, so shipping is a major concern for me.
- I don't plan on overclocking (due to the heat here in Hawaii).
This is my first time building a PC, so I am extremely anxious, excited, and nervous. If you guys can help revise my build, I would greatly appreciate it!
