I'm not sure what CPU/Mobo combination I'll pick but I'd prefer to get an i3. My only requirements are USB3.0 and HDMI. It'll have to be upgradable for 2-3 years before being totally obsolete so I need to know that the case & PSU are reasonably future proof? Is 530W overkill for an end game of SSD, GPU, and a few Storage drives?
Graphics card wise I'll want 1 or 2 GB with HDMI but in 6 months prices will be different so there's no need to look into them now.

So if there's anything wrong with the case & PSU can you point it out!

Not to be a dick but like wtf are you even doing here? Any advice we give may well be obsolete by then, you said it yourself. Your needs could completely change. The only real tjing you could plan would be the case, but bar a few you can't be sure it'll be in stock anywhere when you order.

Come back in 5 months.
