OK I'm make this in the prodigy

I just post the pc part picker

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Brettrose/saved/trkgXL

Do you think this will work.?

And is this the best way to do this build?

Suggestions?

Any ways to make this cheaper?

Budget Around 1250 ( and no part can be over 600 $ bank doesn't let me spend that much a week)

I'd go with a stock cooler on the 780, since there wont be a whole lot of air flow in a mITX case like the prodigy

A few suggestions. A locked cpu to go along with the H97 motherboard. No need for an aftermarket cpu cooler. No need for DDR3-2400 memory, DDR3-1600 will do just fine. An ssd - some kind of storage is needed. A better, lower wattage, and shorter psu.
