You sure you want to go with a 460 instead of a 470, 480 or 1060? Your CPU can handle much more. Also, no SSD?

 

Otherwise, I don't see anything that stands out as worth asking questions about. I'm not all that familiar with SFF power supplies, so I'll leave that to someone else.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

I'm on a budget, don't want to increase it any further.

Can't stretch that budget.

Than switch the hdd for a cheap SSD, with a decent capacity if you won`t really need that much space.

 

Trust me, SSD is worth it, even if you`ll need to give up some money for a lower amount of storage

to game or not to game, that`s the question

Looks good to me then, but wait for someone more knowledgeable about SFF PSUs to come along, Corsairs makes some truly great PSUs, and they make some truly crap PSUs. Not sure which the SF is, although I believe they're generally considered solid.

This case only support SFX PSU's as far as I know.

Storage is the principal weakness of the build. Inexpensive 2.5" hdd often only have 8MB of buffers and spin at 5,400 rpm making for slow storage and thus poorer performance. If an ssd will not fit in the budget, will a hybrid drive?
