The case: NZXT Source 210 Elite - NZXT Source 210 Elite is quite an expansive sized case which is made from a steel body which is as light as feather and lasts longer than expected. It's big enough to house in large components and spacey enough to allow hands to move freely. The case has grips to take off drive bays without a usage of a screwdriver, slots are given for routing the cables along fine, and there are fan grills for better airflow and ventilation. The case is all in all designed with precision. Bonus add-ons are 120mm fans, USB 3.0 ports and front side audio ports. The NAZXT cases are famous for their spacey interior and easiness to attach / detach components (Henry, 2014).
The power supply: Corsair Builder Series CX500M 500W Power Supply - This 500 watt power supply from the home of Corsair is capable of powering all the components (400 W.

The memory: G.SKILL 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 RAM
Prices of RAM are still quite steep than I would like them to be, but my $850 needed the extra boost so I bought the 8GB one, since I had the budget for it. The RAM manufacturer is a famous one and most reliable one at that. It was quite affordable actually. I took advantage of the dual channel board (Henry, 2014).
The storage: Western Digital 7200 RPM 1TB Hard Drive - The prices of hard drives is stable for now and drops down occasionally. I can afford to get an SSD for a mid-priced system with a spinning hard drive as well. The 1 Terabyte model works at 7200 RPM with 64 MB cache and quite within my budget for now (Henry, 2014).
The graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 280 3GB Video Card - This card is capable of powering 1080p games without much problem. R9 280 graphics card is the best value for money graphics out there in the marker right now. It's a great…
