PC advice: building my first rig, am I missing something here?

[Tsukuyomi]

So after getting a quote from a local shop for a new PC then coming here and getting some advice for it, I've done some research and cobbled together a list for my first rig. However as it is my first rig, I want to be sure that I'm not screwing something up. Since you guys were so helpful before, I'm hoping that I can get more help now:

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131993

Video Card/GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130932

Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182073

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116895

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231416

Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339

OS is going to be Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium

--------------------

I know the RAM isn't much but I've never had huge problems with just having 8 gigs of ram for gaming. If I find I need more I can always get more. I'm also just not interested in a Solid State hard-drive right now. They're nice but like with RAM, they're something I feel I can wait on for at least a little bit.

I'd go for a full-size case, but right now I don't really have the room for it, and I have an older mid-size case right now and it never really has problems.

Is there anything I'm missing here? I think I've covered all the basics since I have monitor, speakers, mouse, keyboard, etc. I'm mostly worried about the CPU and Motherboard and Video Card. I'm pretty sure they will all play nicely with each other from what I know, but I'd also like to be sure that I didn't overlook something that's gonna make one part or another worthless. Same goes with any of the stuff. I just wanna be sure I'm not gonna screw myself over after I've ordered everything and I have a pile of parts that are just not gonna work.

Everything is compatible so don't worry but I have some suggestions.

1 PSU: Rosewill isn't a reputable brand so spending $100 for one isn't very wise. Get a corsair one. Also 600w are more than enough. Make sure it's 80+ bronze rated.

2. Case: You can get the same features for much less money e.g.

3. Motherboard: It's not bad if you're not overclocking, you can get a Z87 for the same price though.

Thanks for the input. I disliked that Rosewill, mostly because it wasn't Modular and I like the idea of not having more power cords than I need. Found a 650W Corsair for roughly the same amount. Paying an extra 20 bucks to make it so I don't have a nest of cables I don't need and more space inside the case is worth it to me.

This is the one I'm considering: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139054

Though I do wonder: normally Bronze is not the best rating for things, but is the 80+ rating system backwards in that respect and bronze is the best? Or is it just that Bronze will do for 90% of things if you're not running a server or something else that takes a ton of strain and juice?

Well I do have a modular PSU and you do need to use almost all of the cables so I wouldn't really bother with one. They will sit on the bottom of the case anyway so they shouldn't be much of a problem regarding space.
The rating is for power efficiency. Bronze is the lowest grade but I use it mainly as a standard for PSUs, meaning that those rated bronze have better quality components and will last a longer time than those without a rating. This is more than enough for your needs. It's also modular so..yeah.
If you absolutely want to spend more money, then why not get a proper 4670k?

Eh, I'm not really interested in spending more cash, in fact I'd like to spend less. But, unlike other people around me, I'm willing to shell out a bit more cash if I have to for a quality product or something that I feel is just worth it. It's a habit I've gotten into after years of working in retail and watching people throw a hissey-fit at me over amounts of less than five dollars.

Mostly I wanna get a first rig under my belt and then my next rig can be better as I'll be more knowledgeable and, hopefully, have a bigger budget for it. This was just my first attempt picking through parts to actually build a working PC. Which is why I posted up what I had so I could get some feedback and, as I said, make sure I'm not making some terrible mistake.

EDIT: Also, for some reason I find myself highly distracted by your avatar. It's just...I don't even know the words. Normally I'm not bothered by gifs on forums and whatnot but this....this is just...weird.

It also goes well with any kind of music you play in the background

O.T. You are right but I assure you, an 80+ rated 600w watt Corsair PSU is a quality product and a sensible choice when it comes to your system.

Indeedly do. I'll almost certainly be swapping over to Corsair PSUs on my next build and I finally retire my 8 year old Thermaltake ToughPower 600W (or consign it to a back up 'puter).

I was also thinking that if the OP is looking to cut a bit more scratch off the cost, and considering the CPU is from the shallow end of the i5 range, that if they're not looking to expand the initial build too much they might be just as well served by a B85 chipset mobo. Although if they want multi-GPU, 5.1 sound or to run more than 4 SATA 3 drives it'd be out of the question.
