What do you think of my PC plan?

[Beagle_Oneism]

So this is my first PC build and I just spent another 30-40 minutes or so picking out some new parts. I'm very paranoid that I'm going to pick out a wrong part and it won't fit or something goes wrong. If this looks pretty decent, I will be ordering them tomorrow (maybe). I'll be using the Newegg videos on Youtube to help me build this out. So are my parts ready to be ordered? Also, any tips for a first builder! Thanks a bunch! - Beagle

I could give a better one with Intel and better NVIDIA GPU if you don't mind.

"Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard has an onboard USB 3.0 header, but the NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case does not have front panel USB 3.0 ports.

In order to fit, the PNY GeForce GTX 760 2GB Enthusiast Edition Video Card may require removing drive bays from the NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case. The case only supports video cards up to 230mm in length without removing drive bays, while the video card is 241mm long."

would this would be something to worry about?

To me, there is nothing much to worry about.

But I will change the case.

First off I'd like to thank you for setting aside some time to edit some things and put this list together. I really appreciate it But as it still says that I *may* need to remove drive bays in order to fit the video card in. Since this is my first build and I do not know much about all this, I'm a bit nervous about getting down in there and doing this. Would this be a fairly simple task to do? Anyways, this build does seem pretty decent so I will most likely stick with it. Thank you!

No worries, I am glad to help. It wouldn't be too hard to remove bays but if you feel a bit nervous. I could give you a better case and few more extra edits, if you don't mind spending a little bit more. 😉

Ye, the drive bays just slide off but I don't know for sure how long the case can support, even with it removed, but it should be okay... You can change it to a corsair 450D, 15 dollars more, but guaranteed to work and comes with 4 fans too I believe and better build quality as it uses more metal than plastic
