I'm building a PC

That looks like an interesting build! I'm curious, what's the name of the case?

It's a Rosewill Legacy U3-S. It's about the smallest and well built Micro-ATX case I could find.

Well, that looks like an interesting case. As wide as a standard case, but interestingly small length. Not too expensive as well. May I know the specs and cost of the build?

I still have it all bookmarked, so...

Rosewill Case

i5-4590 CPU

Gigabyte GA-Z97MX Motherboard

Asus GTX970 Mini GPU

2x4GB DDR3-1600 Corsair VENGEANCE RAM

Corsair CX500M PSU

Corsair H50 Watercooling Setup

500GB Samsung 850 Evo M.2

Total cost was $1208 once everything was said and done. It's a pretty stout mid-high end machine. It stays cool, and doesn't take up a ton of room.

For a simple consumer build, that is an accurate price, but I'm building a medium gaming/heavy productivity computer. Keep in mind I pay 800 CAD, that's around 650 USD today.

My parts and prices are for a gaming computer. I've built many.

There is a wide range to the price you can pay for the same exact computer part.

$800 canadian explains much of the issue though. I thought you were talking $800 USD. $650 is much more in the ballpark.

I wouldn't skimp on the vid card though.

Well, that definitely seems like a very nice machine. By the way, today is my birthday!

Happy Birthday, man! Hope you enjoy your up and coming present.

Thank you! Guess what? All parts came this morning! I already started building the computer, here's a pic of what has been done so far (unfinished obviously).

Man, that was quick. Not half bad looking, either.
