Love the tempered Glass Evolv case. The ITX is to take up little space on my desk. G4560 for good price/prefermance, and a RX 560 because of AMD's recent advantage on DX12 games. I even snuck in a non-stock CPU cooler, and an SSD. Thoughts?

Remove the cooler and save couple of bucks cause Intel's Stock Cooler is good for G4560

I would agree but with the TG case, which was honestly my biggest want in this build, so I went with a aesthetically pleasing cooler. Also, It is one of the best down blowing out there.
