So, I made a new build off of something that I found online and added a few things. I don't know much about hardware, I'm more of a software kind of guy (Beware of programmers carrying screw drivers.), so I was hoping you guys could help me out. Just a few things, I have an operating system from a friend and a mouse, but nothing else, so I need all the accessories (like a wi-fi adapter and keyboard), and it all has to be from Newegg. Thank you all very much for helping a scrub like me.

Nice build except there's one flaw, you didn't get any RAM. You said you were a software guy so I'm imagining that you would like 16GBs but I didn't want to put you so over budget so I just got 8GB's. I also switched out the HDD to a Western Digital Cavier Blue since its a bit faster and a bit more reliable. There was also one more problem, your motherboard has USB 3.0 but your case doesn't support it so I went ahead and switched it out for a Fractal Design 1000. It's a good case but its micro ATX so if you wanted more room, go with any other case that Mid ATX, just make sure its got USB 3.0 and doesn't have crap reviews. Other than that, its a good build. I also recommend getting a better cooler like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo to overclock your CPU. You'll get some more performance there but it's your choice. I hoped I helped :D
