thats an awesome case, but... with budget builds, you want to focus as much money on components that have processing power as much as possible, IE, CPU, GPU and RAM, so i would suggest ditch the HAF 932, and get a less expensive mid size case save $100, and get a smaller HDD save $60, then use the money saved from the case and hdd and upgrade your processor to an i7.

also, im not sure, someone will have to agree/correct me, you need more than a 500watt powersupply.
 
I could switch out the case, but was trying to pick one that I would keep for a very long time and would be very conducive to upgrades in the future.

How much difference will I see in an i7? Looks like its about 80$ more which isn't a deal breaker. Just wasn't sure how obvious the performance gap would be.

Also, as a note, the upcoming games I'm mainly looking to play are Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2. I have never really gotten into 1st person shooters, but very well might after building this rig.
