It's so tiny [A Mini-Itx build]

Antibull

Hello all, I am new here and decided to post my first build ever. 
 
It is kind off a evolution of my pc. 
 
It all started with my first pc, bought at a Aldi. 
 
It looked like this:

Specs were:

Cpu: AMD a8-3800

RAM: 4GB 1333MHZ

And nothing more interesting

 

I decided to upgrade it after 1 year. I was a broke student like now and only had around 200 to spend. I purchased an Cooler master B500, a Bitfenix Shinobi and a MSI GTX 660 Gaming edition.

After one year of owning my "new" upgraded PC i decided to upgrade it again. But this time with a little bit more money.

I liked the case but after pursing it I found another case, the node 304 so sexy :3. 

 

So when i had the money i went ahead and bought the following:

 

CPU: Intel i3-4160 (cheap but great CPU since I only play League Of legends)

GPU: Still the same MSI GTX660 Gaming Oc edition

RAM: Curcail Ballistix Tactical Tracer 2x 4GB @ 1600MHZ 

Mobo: Asrock H81M-ITX

Case: Node 304

Storage: Kingston hyperX 3k 120 GB

               Wd Blue 1TB 7200tpm

PSU: Corsair CX430M (I got the Corsair RM450M later on)

Cooling: Just the normal fans and an Corsair H60, 

 

The case <3

It was hard to fit the H60 in there :o

All put together

I soon realized that the Corsair CX430M made a lot of noise so i RMA it. I wanted the Corsair RM450M because the no RPM under 50% load and my pc will never reach the 50% mark this makes the H60 the only noisy part in this built (but it makes to much noise at 12 volt so i got it on 5 volt while browsing the web and that makes my pc dead silent) 

 

People said that the corsair RM wouldnt fit but it did :D

It is a tight fit but it fits :D

And he is almost finished waiting for an noctua fan for the h60

Look at what Zotac and Gigabyte can do with their small PCs.
