Mini ITX Project

Greetings all!

 

I want to gather some info for my next project.  It's going to be for entry level gaming and my goal is to have fun and sell it.  OS not needed to be included, but looking at the 600 ish price point.  I plan on selling it after I am done for a small profit.  I was considering a 6790k, 2133MHz ram and CF an R7-250 with a Seidon 120V cooler.  But not too sure.

Intel Core I7-4790K 4.5GHz 1.225V, NZXT Kraken x60 AIO Cooler, EVGA Z97 FTW Board, Kingston Fury 2x8GB DDR3 1600Mhz Ram, EVGA GTX 980 TI SC+ ACX GPU, Corsair Air 540 Case w/ 3x120MM & 3x140MM Cougar Red LED Fans, EVGA G1 650W 80+ Gold PSU, Crucial MX100 512GB SSD, Samsung UD590 4k 60Hz Monitor

If you want to game, I'd suggest a better GPU and less powerful CPU instead. Ram speed doesnt matter all that much for gaming.

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Micro ATX AM3+ Motherboard  ($44.89 @ OutletPC) 
Memory: G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($49.99 @ Newegg)

AM3+ doesn't have Mini-ITX form factor motherboard so.... Why went with AM3+ socket?

260X and 265 is another option, I agree those GPUs are better choice thus cheaper option:
