First off, just like to thank whoever reads this and also whoever replies to this thread. I've never built before and am pretty noob when it comes to this so please bear with me.
I'm looking to purchase this within the next few weeks - 1 month (hoping for a drop in some prices when the new Haswell CPU's come out). I'd love for the build to be as cost efficient as possible between $700-900 CAD. Mostly will be surfing, gaming (SC2), watching movies and doing some light video editing with this computer.

One thing is that I get this message "Asus P8Z77-V LK ATX LGA1155 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the Zalman Z9 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports". I`m not sure if that will make a huge difference or not.
I'd love any suggestions on making this (a) cheaper while not sacrificing much and (b) helping me avoid any incompatibility issues I might run into.
Thanks again for looking at this.
