I'm also a novice builder and wanted to choose that case at first, but realized it's better to put down some extra money on a great case such as the 350D, 450D, 300R, or Enthoo Pro (the one I chose). if you invest now in a great case, you won't have to buy another one if you choose to upgrade components of your PC. U can even reuse the case for future builds, but I doubt you would want to reuse the SPEC-01, but I could be wrong. If u do choose to get the SPEC-01, also consider the Sentey Optimus g-6000, which is pretty similar.. if u don't like that, check out the HAF 912, and maybe u can get a window side panel to replace the ugly plain side panel it comes with.. up to you
Also, if u want to save some more money on the RAM, go for the G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231416) it's $10 less plus $7 off with code..it has same specs and same lifetime warranty. Also, u chose 520 watt PSU but according to this chart (http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm), it is recommended that u get 550w PSU (w/OC included). I'm not familiar with Antec power supplies, so if you can, try to get a SeaSonic 550w, try this one it's Gold certified and only $75. Oh yeah and idk people have been saying don't get seagate, so u should get Western Digital as their 1 tb is only $55 OEM (doesn't come with SATA connectors but u will prob get with ur mobo so dw). As for CPU, I'm not sure about that but hope I helped with other things.

And the ram i think you should consider a cheaper one like KingSaif said.. they all work the same if their speed is the same but if you want for for your buck you should get
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233527 but its little more expensive so i do recommend a cheaper cheaper ram.. for the graphics card if you want to cut little bit more on the price get a r9 270x. The 270x is known for the best best bang for the buck but you do have to kill performance with the r9 270x.
