I'm planning my first pc build for this Summer and I'm wanting some suggestions on different parts of my build--if anything is not great or anything like that. I'm going to do some gaming (1080p is the highest I plan to go) and I do a bit of video/audio editing as well, so I need a balance between those two. I might do some slight overclocking, but nothing too intensive. Also, if anyone out there has built in a 380t, I'd love to know suggestions specific to some parts you might have used to see how all of these will fit.

 

Here's my parts list:

 

PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/GJCsCJ
 
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor 
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler 
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VII IMPACT Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard 
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage: A-Data Premier Pro SP600 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive 
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive 
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 280 3GB TWIN FROZR Video Card  
Case: Corsair 380T Mini ITX Tower Case  
Power Supply: Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply 
Case Fan: Corsair SP140 49.5 CFM 140mm  Fan 
 
Total: $1075.29
 

 

I know that the motherboard is a bit overkill, but I really want to be able to have both the audio-card with a graphics card and with the i5 4690k. Also, I'm only using one ram stick at 8gb now so I can put in another later.

 

Thanks for your input in advance!
