I feel this is the power level I am striving for. Planing to play 1080p games like Tomb rider, Hitmat Absolution, Witcher 2 etc. Possibly use as steam machine later on. Do you see any obvious bottlenecks or problems with this build? Thanks in advance.

 

EDIT 1: switched to BB code markup

EDIT 2: updated windows to 8.1

Maybe dual RAM?

The Node case is quite expensive and not very good for high-performance builds. I see that you want a white build so you could take something like the Bitfenix Prodigy White.

If you won't upgrade to 16GB, take dual RAM. Better take a better PSU like Corsair CXM. There is no sense getting Windows 8, get 8.1 right away.

I have also second version with bitfenix prodigy, however it is twice the size of this one (on height). Is there significant difference in cooling? Regarding the PSU, I would like to go for silent built as much as possible. The CX600M is great power supply, as I read on the internet, but it seems to be like 8db more on full load. Thanks regarding windows, I will update it

Well, that's the problem with ITX, that's why I abandoned the ITX idea and I'm going for mATX. There would be almost no airflow in this case with this cooling.

Remember that the power supply will never reach the full load
