I'm going to buy some pc parts from my local online store and wanted to get your guys opinion on it. It's priced at around 850$ US which makes it worth around 1000$ US at my local store. I may try and reduce the price by finding some cheaper hardware at physical stores ( I live in Dubai) but it still may not bring the price down enough to get an SSD ( yes I realise SSD's make a significant improvement and I surely will get one in the future.)

The online stores website is gear-up.me

^^^^ This is pretty good! The CPU might not be as good but the better GPU and the SSD make up for it.

I was worried about the quality of the case. Is it worth the money, or should I just fork out enough cash till I can get a better one?

Yeah, I figured it was a bit better balanced, and in gaming it will be literally no different, it might lack a bit if power in productivity but the SSD will make loading things faster

I am using the 300r (windowed version) in my build with  a 4770k cooled with an h100i and 780ti, its a nice case, looks great and keeps things cool

Alright thanks :) I'll try and fish these parts for as low as I can get them so I can get some LED fans. Also, I guess overclocking is out of the question with a build this low in price... But I'm ok with that as long as I can play GW2 and LoL with no issues :)
