I finished my first build a couple of weeks back and I'm very happy with it. It all runs just fine and everything went pretty much perfectly (why would anyone get a core i7 for anything less than daily stuff + gaming is beyond me when the i3 is so cheap and works so nicely 
).
It turns out however that buildng PCs is highly addictive and well... why the hell I would need more than 1? It's a shame because it's a lot of fun. I'm perfectly ok with the core i3, 500GB HDD, cheap P7P55D mobo and GTX460.
The one thing I'm not that pleased about is the Antec 300. While it's a very nice looking and built case, I just know it's missing a few things to make it great:
Pros:
For no reasons other than it'd get me to re-build the PC, which is the funnest part :biggrin:

The one thing I'm not that pleased about is the Antec 300. While it's a very nice looking and built case, I just know it's missing a few things to make it great:
Pros:
- cheap enough, well built and solid, great looking
- well ventilated
- no external 3.5" drive bays for, say, card readers
- only 2 USB ports up front
- not much for cable management; it's ok if you have very long cables with extra lengths, then you can tuck them in. But with my OCZ, the cables are just too long to be tucked in, not enough to not be in the way. It's not just the case here, also the PSU maybe, but still... a hole for the PSU cables at the bottom right of the mobo tray would have been welcome for instance.
- fans' speed controls are internal only. For the price it's not surprising, but it's hardly handy...
