I'm looking for an affordable VC since I can't afford the one I'm looking at for a few months. This is what I've found: http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=43_1200_557_558&item_id=046341
I don't play any intensive games such as BF3/4, Crysis, etc. Right now I just play Minecraft but I plan on getting more games after this is built.

If it matters, these are the specs:

ncix.com is in Canada, LOL. Do take a look there too, it's actually one of my favorites.

Good build indeed.

Exactly which card are you dreaming about? Just checking that the Strider 500W can handle that card too so you don't have to buy a new PSU in a few months. For example if you're planning to upgrade to R9-280x or GTX 770 think 600W instead of 500W.

Thanks for pointing that out, according to PCPP the wattage would be around 400+.
The PSU I swapped in and the GPU I'm planning on getting:
