I actually built a computer for my cousin with that same case - it's pretty big with lots of room to work with.

The biggest tip for building is keep your wiring clean. Invest in some zip ties or velcro ties and utilize the small area underneath the motherboard tray (after you take off the other side panel). Take the extra 20 minutes and do it nice. Make sure you follow the instructions for applying the thermal grease onto your CPU before installing your cooler. Too much grease means you'll be cleaning out the pins on the underside of the chip, which takes a longg time. The whole process is pretty straight forward. If something fits into a connector, it probably goes there. The only part that really leaves room for error is connecting your front panel header wires, but just look in your motherboard manual for what goes where and it's really easy. Any questions, just post back here.

Thanks man! I'll try and post some pictures as well :)

Little update: my motherboard and i5 came today! Yay!

On another note, I'm reading into the card I ordered ( MSI R9 280x 3gb) and newegg has some people posting poor reviews saying the card leaks oil etc.... I bought from amazon and the reviews were pretty good. Anyone else had issues or successfully running one?

Looks like a pretty solid build. That R9 280X should be sufficient for the majority of titles out today. Make sure to set your X.M.P. profile on your RAM if it's rated faster than 1600MHz.

I snagged a R9 290X for $290 a few months ago off eBay. It's a noticeable step up from my HD7970 that I was running... Just hate how it defaults to 95C before GPU fans kick in.
