I have been looking at PC parts for a while now, and I have came up with this build. I am on a budget, and I don't want to spend more than $750 on the entire build (including OS). Please tell me how these parts would do with web browsing, light-medium gaming, and recording gaming. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BPV7pg Thanks for reading! Before any of you judge the case, I want something that draws attention and starts a conversation when people walk into my room. I liked the way this one looked, and it had 2 USB 3 ports.

If you want something that draws attention and is cheap i think you should go with the Aerocool Strike X case :)
Otherwise goodlookin' build.

Why a wireless keyboard?

...is the bluray drive really necessary?

Changed a few things. I'd get a r7 265 unless you're really committed to Nvidia for some reason. Should give you better performance.

I like the Nvidia software. Also, thanks for the suggestions! I choose the FX 6300 over the i3 4330 for OC'ing purposes. I plan on getting the NZXT Kraken X41 when I start to really need it.

I like this case, but I sense a design flaw in it. The HDD/SSD Bays arent facing towards the back of this case. This shows some cable clutter and I want my build to have the least amount of cables showing. That is one reason why I chose the 750ti SC. It takes no power from the PSU.

I am getting the BlueRay drive for movies, I like to watch a lot of 'em. As for the wireless keyboard, it is just temporary.  I will be getting the Logitech G710+ later on.

You might as well stretch the budget a bit more and get it now instead of wasting your money on a keyboard just to replace it: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mTKYQ7
