600W is heaps but that isn't a great choice of power supply. Not sure why you've chosen to get a single stick of RAM really, doubt you will ever need 4 sticks of 8 on that system, start with 2x4GB unless you have money to throw around and want 2x8GB - but cooling and better PSU should come first.

Current rig: i5 4670K | GTX 670 | Asus Z87I-Pro | Silverstone Strider Plus 600W | Custom mITX case | Seagate Barracuda 3TB | Samsung 840 120GB | G430 | CM Storm Quickfire Pro - MX Red | LG 21.5"

The psu is more than enough.

What's the system being used for?

system is mainly used for gaming and regular computer, use single stick of 8gb ram is cheaper here in finland than 2 sticks of 4gb  ^_^, for peripherals I have sennheiser 598HD, Fiio e10 usb dac, Razer naga, Blue microphones yeti, some random microsoft gaming keyboard, printer and speakers and webcam that I rarely use. Would you recomend some other PSU then? I am not going to buy second GPU or anything what would use alot more power. My budget is hard to tell because some parts cost alot more and some alot less in finland than in US but it's max 1300usd that system up there was 1100usd and i would not like to use alot more...

 

well i might get Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo CPU cooler.

 

I am also trying to make the system quiet like you might see from the case i picked.

What shops are you using? What's your actual budget?

Don't waste time converting currencies because parts and prices very from region to region and sales vary even more so.

i suggest, a much cheaper case, like the n400 or n600 from cooler master, maybe even the carbide 200r.

Yep they do but some parts are so extremely cheap out there that it's still cheaper to buy them there with the shipping cost and the taxes.

 

Parts that i am going to buy from US are HDD SSD and mayby RAM.

Well, you're fine with just about any 8GB kit of ram, any decent 120/128GB ssd, and a seagate barracuda with capacity of your choice.

There's not much part choosing to be made for these.

So.. shall we head onto where you'll be shopping for the bulk of your parts?

I would use 351$ for ssd hhd and ram from amazon (is still cheaper than from finland) and for the rest of the parts I will order from finland, I would have around 700€ (in dollars 950$) for them.

 

PS. Sorry my english is not the best in the world :unsure:
