Any opinions or improvement suggestions? I have roughly $1450 (1050€ iam from Germany) to spend.

lookin good from here.

Though i'd change the ssd to an 840 evo and maybe get a cheaper 550w psu.

[chicksoup]

get a much cheaper PSU, and get a gtx770 instead, you don't need windows 8.1 Pro, basically the same except for a few features that you can use seperate programs for

[ForeseenVisionz]

200 for an Os? HA. get a 770 and ditch the os srsly at that price too. 760 is the biggest waste of money imo

Potential Issues/Incompatibilities

• Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 10 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply and Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 MicroATX Mini Tower Case are not compatible.

Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 10 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply length of 180mm exceeds Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 MicroATX Mini Tower Case maximum of 170mm.

Microsoft Windows 8.1 Professional (32/64-bit) does not support more than 4GB of RAM in 32-bit mode. (You have 8GB of RAM in your part list.)

[NuraXx]

okay getting windows 8.1 normal version then.

i chose that psu because i dont want to have to change psu in the future when i upgrade.And i dont like to have a psu lower then 80+ for power consumption reasons and that kind of stuff.

I already have the SSD and the HDD because iam using them right now - iam just going to reuse them.

 

@deansmylie1993

pcpartpicker is lying it does fit if you dont use second 120mm fan at the bottom.

 

Anyway thanks so far.

I take it you dont intend on using the fan then? what version of the case will you be going for the windowed one or the standard? Personally i think the standard looks better as it looks very minimalistic compared to the windowed.

[NuraXx]

No iam not going to use the fan, plenty of other possibilities to use in there.The PSU has a bequiet silent wings 2 fan so I think it will be fine.Problably iam getting the standard case without the window i dont think the other option looks bad but I don´t have any fancy LEDs or that kinda stuff anyway.

You don't really need LED strips if you have fans with LEDS. I cant wait to see your build when you start building it. When is your planned/estimated start date?

[NuraXx]

I think i will start in about a week or two when i have all the parts. Then I can post some photos if you would like to see it

[ObilvionNizer]

That sounds good. Of course progress photos would be good.
