    So I'm ordering the parts for my first build next week, and was wondering what your guys thoughts on it is? :) My budget is €400, and I'm just stretching it a little, but I convinced my parents to add the little bit on luckily (I'm only 15). Here's the PC Part Picker link :)http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2aC6h (The price on HWVS is different to that shown on pcpartpicker, also, I know about the whole USB 3.0 header thing, but I already own that case from last year and can't afford to buy a new one)
