Anything I should change for my ITX build

[Jonis]

So as the title says, im planing a ITX build, but before i order the parts I want you guys to say yay! or nay! for the parts i've picked

 

so the parts are as following:

 

Mobo - Asus Z87I-Pro

CPU - i5 4670K

RAM - Corsair Veneance Pro 1600mhz 8gb (4gb x2)

GPU - MSI GTX 770

SSD - Samsung 840 Evo 120gb

HDD - WD green 2TB

PSU - Corsair CS 550w

Chassi - Fractal Design Node 304

CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-U12S

 

 

Its a gaming rig for LAN and somewhat a HTPC / "console like" computer. Or a steammachine if you want to call it that.

 

is it anything i should change or does it look good?

did you confirm that the cpu cooler actually fits the case?

I would suggest you consider a better psu. Silverstone ST60F-PS would be an excellent choice, as would ST55F-G. Both are 140mm long which would provide a little extra room in the case.

Yes it fits, even a NH-U14S would fit, but its close with HDD bay mounted, there for the U12S.

I have no idea how this merchant compares to others, but they do list Silverstone psu http://www.proshop.se/Stromforsorjning/SilverStone-Strider-Plus-600W-2405074.html, http://www.proshop.se/Stromforsorjning/SilverStone-Strider-Gold-ST55F-G-nataggregat-550-2380824.html.

Well, its pretty good. think i bought one of my 780s (for my main rig) from there. but the price of those PSUs are twice as much compared to a CS550w. And those silverstone ones are just 80+bronze compared to Gold on CS.

 

 

And here are the part number of the RAM : CMY8GX3M2A1600C9A

Yeah, i know that, but I can order all the other parts from the same retailer. Maybe a Be Quiet! L8 530W would be better? same price as a CS550w.

The CS550W is a little better and a better size for the case.

 

I am not suggesting that the CS550W is a bad psu. It is mediocre, but the price reflects that fact so it is not a bad buy.

It looks fine.
