So have you ordered your PSU or not yet?

If you haven't i'd recommend a modular one for your first build to make things simpler in terms of cable management.
 
As above, all seems solid and judging by your choices for these components I have faith that you chose a good PSU too :D

Have fun with it!
 
for a first build i will suggest that you take your time and read the installation instructions carefully.

looks like a nice build for a first timer. and i must agree that a modular PSU would be a better option, especially in the Antec 900 case.

oh, and pop down to the nearest ecectrical/hardware store and get some cable ties. use them to bundle wires together and put them out of the way to prevent airflow disruption. by spending £3 on that you can make your case (and in turn components) cooler and last longer as they wont be running as hot.
 
i'll second the cable tie suggestion...

it made a massive difference to my first build, and it somehow helps prevent so much dust build up too :-)
 
I know it sounds boring but really take your time, and get really good cable routing, will help both looks and airflow
