Gaming Mini ITX Build

[DerpyDerp123]

CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core

CPU: Cooler Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid

Motherboard: Asus H81I-PLUS Mini ITX LGA1150

Memory: A-Data XPG V1.0 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600

Storage: Sandisk ReadyCache 32GB 2.5" SSD     Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM

Video Card: HIS Radeon R9 270 2GB IceQ X²

Case: Cooler Master Elite 130 Mini ITX Tower

Power Supply: Corsair 430W ATX12V

 

 

I plan to overclock the Intel Pentium AE and maybe the GPU. Would the cooler and the PSU able to handle it? If the cooler and the PSU can't not handle it, please suggest a better alternative. Also, if there are more optimal alternative for the build, please suggest it too. I am also under a budget of $650 - $700

 

Thanks

 

Edit: Kingston V300 120GB SSD

If you're going to use the SSD as a bootdrive, I'd say get 60/64gigs. Otherwise it looks good. 430w should be able to handle an overclock on the CPU, maybe the GPU as well (I couldn't see why not with them both being fairly low-consumers power-wise).

Maybe consider getting a Hyper 212 EVO/PRO and a larger SSD? Such a good cooler used on the G3258 is going a bit far It's almost the same price as it, isn't it? Might as well shoot for a better CPU and the 212 EVO in that scenario.

But I still recommend getting a bit bigger of an SSD, a 32gig will have no space left for Windows within a couple months, as Windows expands gradually.

With this case, it's not able to use CM Hyper 212 EVO/PRO. Also, thanks for the advice for SSD

You probably dont even need an after market cooler, even if you OC the pentium. And for Ram you might want to get 2x4GB Ram for dual channel instead of 1x8GB in single channel like that

The SSD should be up to at least 60GB, 120GB would be idea. how about Kingston V300 120GB SSD?

Would you be willing to go mATX? There's this deal going for the Pentium and an MSI mATX MoBo that's REALLY good. However, it ends today at some point.

Well I am not able to go mATX because there are not many compact case for a reasonable price and thanks for the advice for Kingston V300 120 GB SDD and I'm planning to get that one instead.
