Greetings,
First time building my own computer, although I'm somewhat familiar with the process. Looking to build something that can play games (WoW, TF2, etc.), but not concerned about new, cutting-edge titles. Just looking to get my feet wet on the building process while taking advantage of some Black Friday deals.
Just want to make sure I'm not making any glaring mistakes with parts and compatibility. Already have operating system, monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.
CPU: Intel Core i3-3220 3.3GHz Dual-Core Processor ($99.99 TigerDirect) <- Price not updated on PCPP, yet.

Only issues that PCPartPicker finds is the case and front USB slots. After poking around, I've found that the Antec 300 ATX does have front slots. Looks like just some out of date info.
