NB! I've made the purchase so no further conversations needed

 

I already have a gaming PC, which i got 1 1/2 years ago, but i wanted to keep it and build a mor eballer mITX Rig, which is relatively portable. I live in Norway so what i can choose from is more limited due to smaller retailers. But id like to hear second opinions on the build before i press the purchase button.

 

Specs 

 

Intel i5-7600k (6% sale) 

CM Seidon AIO CPU Cooler (Going to take it from my other PC and not included in total price)

MSI 270i gaming Pro Carbon AC

CM G550M 550W Psu (19% sale) 

Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x8GB 2133Mhz RAM | Changed to 2400mhz variant

EVGA GTX 1070 FTW Gaming (15% sale)

 

Case

Bitfenix Prodigy mITX

 

Total price at current exchange rate: 11 784 NOK/ 1400,96 USD

Looks fine. The PSU isn't the best, but isn't bad at all.

Hmmm seems pretty good, though your RAM has a lower clockspeed than what that motherboard can take, it wont affect performance much but if you find a higher clockspeed at the same price, go for it.

Indeed, faster memory can help you out in CPU bound situations so if it isn't too expensive go for it.

But 80 Plus Bronze should be good enough?

Sorry, I meant "The PSU isn't the best, but it isn't bad at all." not "The PSU isn't the best, but is bad at all."

Regardless, you can check this post to see if you can find a better PSU for a good price, you never know:

what about the corsair RM550 550w PSU?

Is its price good. It's easily better than your current PSU.

Well then I'd say stick with it unless you find a PSU in a better tier that can fit AND isn't out of your budget.

Still good. If its not much pricer and semi modular get it. Avoid non modular PSU in ITX builds, they make things really difficult.
