At the end of this summer, I plan on doing a mini-Itx pc...I know I’m sacrificing performance per dollar by going mini Itx, but it’s all upgradeable. In the future, I plan on adding more ram and a gpu too.

    That is quite a massive case for a itx build, but other than that it looks fine.

    Maybe go with a single 8gb or even a 16gb stick, if you want to upgrade ram later on.

    I definitely recommend one 8GB stick of RAM, 8GB total is not a lot anymore and that would be an easy upgrade later.

    Also, didn’t realize how big that case was...i just saw that it was the color I wanted.

    There's no shame in bigger ITX cases, they're still smaller than mid towers which is the point. I'm personally not a fan of the super small ITX cases.

    Originally I was thinking of going with a cougar QBX, but I personally love the look of the Neo Mini.

    Yeah the case looks great, no doubt about it! Bigger size also means better cooling.
