Please help me with my first build. I've done a lot of research, but I just want to know if there's something I missed or a better deal somewhere.
I want to keep the cost around $1000. A 320 GB HD is more than enough for me and I don't want a more expensive case unless there's something wrong with mine (i.e., not enough ventilation).
