An interesting choice of CPU and Motherboard, a better CPU would be very good. Other than that it seems good.

i'm a potato

Although you may love the motherboard there isn't a performance difference between that and say for example the Gigabyte and AsRock Z87 ITX boards that are $70-80 cheaper. Use that money and upgrade your processor. 

 

I'm the process of my Mini-ITX board as well and I really love that board too and the layout is perfect for my case, however there isn't a difference in performance so I'm going with the AsRock Z87E-ITX instead.

I3`s suck. Better get 6300 or buy a cheaper motherboard and an i5. Why wd blue 640gb? a tb is not much more in price and you`ll need it with titles having 40 gigs of installed space. Get a 1tb seagate barracuda, its really fast, quiet and is cheap

But the motherboard and the graphicscard is the 2 things i dont want to get rid of  :mellow:

Why? I can understand the graphics card, but the motherboard? There's no reason to get it since it doesn't look like you intend to do any overclocking, etc. And with the i3 proccessor, you won't get any benifit out of it anyways.

The only reason i would use it is because i really dont need any more space than that. My current pc has that harddisk so i aint going to spend money on something thats fine. i have only used like 250GB on it and i really have installed many things.. I can always upgrade if necessary
