Here are a couple of notes:

 

  • The PSU is good but has a sleeve bearing fan (from what I know) which are more likely to fail if mounted like this. Instead, mount it like this or choose a new Case/PSU.
  • You don't need that high of a wattage PSU, It's a Tier 3 PSU (PSU Tier List), and maybe a bit overpriced for what you're getting. The pricing depends what on what country in Europe you're in, so you'll need to give that to get pricing recommendations.
  • A 120GB SSD may be a bit small, but that really depends on what you're using it for. If it's for an OS and a couple specific games, I'd think it would do okay; however, if you've got lots of files, you may want to upgrade that to 240gb.
  • Depending on how much you're paying for the case (yet again) there may be better options where you get more for less.

 

If you aren't already, use PCPartPicker to compile and organize a computer setup. It's a really good site to use for checking compatibility. You can also share links (From "View Your System Build" ) to quickly make changes.
