A Plan-B Hadron build

No intention to overlock, playing DOOM, Killer Instinct, maybe Quantum Break at 1080p, normal settings. Though I made this list solely because I should have went for the Hadron instead of the Corsair 250d.

 

1. Anyone have experience with building an ITX computer with the Hadron? From PCPer and Jayztwocentz's POVs, it's challenging. I'd like to hear more.

2. Is the 500w power supply similarly good to the PSU tier 1/2  EVGA or other PSUs of said list?

3. Which external optical drives are good today? Rather go for than than go with the hassle of installing a slim driver.

4. Obviously, I'll wait and see the fruits of Nvidia's Pascal projects, but the MSI GTX 980 in the list or the EVGA GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0 can play Quantum Break at its recommended settings (According to Game Debate).

5. Obviously as well, OS is Win10.

 

If things go bad/good in my life, I'll build this one and give my current build to relatives.
