Ahh, thanks. Guess I'll be re-working that, then.
__________________EDIT: Updated, switched the motheboard out for a cheaper one, switched the MicroATX case out for a cheaper, ATX Mid Tower case, and added a (quite expensive >.>) Corsair 450w power supply. If anyone can make a reccomendation for a cheaper reliable PSU, please let me know.

Things to go for in a PSU ,
One or more 8-pin PCIe 2.0 power connectors(crossfire later) you also need: one 8-pin CPU power connector. Wattage , 550W minimum if you have a dedicated vid card. 600W minimum for high-end gaming hardware. 700W or more recommended for SLI/CrossFire systems.

That said , the Corsair is a very efficient PSU even at a 100 percent load it doesn't dip below 80% efficiency. While your at it, have a look at the OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W, it has higher output capacity, dual PCIe power connectors, and modular cabling, and it's cheaper. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341016

Wow, thanks a LOT for that find. That PSU is probably twice as good as the Corsair I have listed. Definite +Rep for that.

Threw in some updates. Switched out the PSU for the cheaper, better, more epic one. Oh, and I added two quarters to my fund. Oh, and I got my parents to chip in 300 if I saved up the rest, so that's good. That'll help me get ze cash by around Christmas.

For your HDD, unless you are certain you will need 500GB I would go with a smaller one, anywhere from 160-320GB and they will be cheaper.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136075 Also, don't buy your keyboard/mouse/mousepad online. You can get them all cheaper at a local store (and not have to pay shipping). Just my  Good luck with your build
