    1. You need to tell us what this computer is used for
    2. What is your budget?
    3. Where do you live?

    If it's for gaming, there are a few things I would recommend switching.

    1. You seem to have a tight budget. Get a cheaper case, and when you can afford something better, then get that $54 case.
    2. You only need 8GB of RAM for gaming.
    3. Instead of getting that off brand p.o.s cooler, get a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.

    Revise it with my recommendations, and you have a solid gaming build.

    1. I want to use it for Gaming and some Rendering
    2. I really dont want to go over $860
    3. I live in North East USA

    1. My graphics card is huge, if you know of any case that will 100% fit it with ease let me know.
    2. I have 8gb on this computer and I rarely have any free ram left a lot of the time because of Chrome, Firefox, and some games.
    3. I stated that this was my first pc build, I really don't want to do anything too crazy as I don't trust myself with something that huge + its like 30$.

    I highly doubt you're using more than 8GB, as I have chrome open with 9 different tabs, BF4, Runescape, Skype, Spotify, and usually YouTube open at once (Almost 24/7) and I never use AT MAXIMUM 6GB.

    I recommend using this build, as it's under your budget, and is perfect for your needs.

    Get the Alpenfohn 'Ben Nevis'. Quiet cooler for a little bit more money. I have the SPEC-01 with a TX3 EVO on my CPU and it makes a lot of noise. You should really consider a different cooler.
