Hi Jerome876. Everything in your build looks to be in order. Good parts across the board and you even found an IPS monitor for a good price. You can upgrade to an i5 or i7 later on if you want. If you want to upgrade to a more powerful radeon card later on you'll need a new power supply, however, the capstone 550 can handle a GTX 970/980 with any Intel CPU should you decide to go with Nvidia.

the n200 is a great case that is about the same price as the thermaltake commander if you take shipping into account.
you should get this and consider a mechanical keyboard, they are so clicky.

I have browns and I love them. I may be forced to ditch the board soon due to moving in with my GF and sharing an office. She thinks the board is way too loud.

I do not like blues at all personally, but yeah the kaihl switches are 90% as good as Cherry for much less cost.
My board is actually that same thermaltake form 2012 before they switched away from cherry switches.
