I am trying to get a mini-itx build going for a friend. Her budget is 550 USD. She doesn't need an OS. It is for gaming and general use.

I had this going: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cmyLTW

But I know you guys can do better. Thanks a ton! :)

Quote my post if you need me to respond.

Get rid of that CX PSU. They are terrible.

For the higher wattage ones they are pretty bad, but for those lower ones they are fine.

Despite its fairly unknown branding, PowerColors PCS+ is actually very good. Managed to squeeze an R9 380 in their, updated the case, added a less overkill PSU and changed the mobo to an H81, which is cheaper and works just as well.

Over budget by way to much.
