Don't cheap out on your PSU
No upgrade path for the CPU.
Case is pretty bad.
What is your budget and currency? (Pound sign does not work normally, use GBP abbreviation)
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a keyboard?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need an operating system?
What will you use the PC for?
Are you going to overclock?

I agree with everything else you are saying, but... Who cares about the case? If ChrisIsU- likes it, then fair enough. Who else is going to see it?

Just to inform those who are interested, my Dad bought a Corsair case ( [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] ). He said he got it because it was nice and his Corsair water cooler would fit too.
PCPartPicker shows you the parts that fit together, so where you get it, you aren't stuck with part which don't work with each other.

Build quality and space.
OP-AM3+ is a dead socket. Did you get this suggestion on 7S by any chance? That case is terrible and a GTX 750 for almost $140? Bad idea. That PSU is absolutely shit.

Cases need to have a good build quality along with a few other things.
OP@ I will try and sort you a build out now mate.

$500 gets you a decent i3 rig;

Add another 4GB RAM and an SSD when you get a chance. If you get the $70 in rebates, use that for an extra 4GB RAM and then save for a decent SSD.
That defeats the purpose of these forums.
