and yes, I do already have a harddrive. It seems like a good PC but I would like your guys opinions before I go ahead and buy the pieces. I plan on playing average games , nothing like witcher, (MC,CS:GO,Rocket League,Indie). Also, dumb question but I would be able to plug in USB (like a apple charger) with this PC as well, right?

finally, 1 of the "compatibility notes" was this:

The NZXT Source 210 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 330mm long, but video cards over 230mm may block drive bays. Since the PowerColor Radeon R9 280X 3GB TurboDuo Video Card is 266mm long, some drive bays may not be usable.

Is this a major issue?
