Top building tips:
Read everything, especially reading the case and motherboard instructions are vital.
You need a big clean table
You need to recruit a local PC guru to help with your first build
An extension lead for power
Monitor
Wired kboards and mice can be a big help
A desk lamp so you can see
Containers for small bits
Collection of clean tools - little screwdrivers etc
Get set up well it will take sometime
Okay I say buy the best case and PSU you can afford, and keep them for 10+ years, these are keepers and the PSU has a 5 year warranty.
You have the other parts to recycle.
Using i3 and this gfx card is a great sweet spot. The GFX card has a bios switch, have a read about it.
In the future you can ebay the i3 and drop in an i5 & cpu cooler as an easy upgrade. Or add more ram (up to to 8gb).
