This will be my first build ever. I am kind of a noob at this stuff so if I made any mistakes please correct them. For the SSD, I'm going to buy it later so I don't take away from the original build budget <900. Any part you see from Newegg includes the tax and shipping (I figured it out w/trial and error :p). I will not need an OS and I plan to buy a keyboard and mouse separate from the budget as well. I have no plan to OC or SLI. Thanks.

Staying with what you've currently got, I'd go with a larger storage drive since you've room in your budget.

There's cheaper case options out there though. I'd personally go with a cheaper case, say maybe the Cooler Master N200 ($39.99 @ Newegg + 4.99 s&h - $5 rebate), stick with the 1TB HDD, and add in a 120GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD ($69.99 @ Newegg).

Thanks for the feedback. I looked up the case and it's a Mini Tower. Won't fit an ATX mobo.

Yeah you can save some money if you're not so picky about where to get your parts.

Why spend 60$ on a case when the last case was 54$.... OP, If you like windowed PCs, the Ostrog may be a nice fit for you, but if you just want a decent looking case with good ariflow, consider the N400 From CM

Idc for a windowed case (If it has it great, if not so what). Between the Ostrog and the NZXT 220, which would you get?
