I'm building a desktop for the first time on a moderate budget. It is aImost complete and I am pretty content with my hardware choices but i would like to see if the community has any recommendations or revisions anyway:

1. I also still a need network adapter. Wondering about a good wired/wireless combination for a low price.

2. I also still need a case. Wondering if i need full or mid tower and if i would need an extra case fan. The cpu cooler is just in case i decide to overclock.

3. Speaking of which, i want to be sure that i can effectively overclock this build. Don't have any experience with it yet.

4. And i'm wondering if there are any less obvious parts i will need to complete this. Such as extra cables or adapters. I do already have a monitor and peripherals for this rig.

Thanks
