Ok, so i'm about the buy some components to put together my SFF PC. I have had a few recommendations from people here and I think I am ready. MY list is as follows:

- Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 285 Dual-X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
- MSI Z97I Gaming ACK Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard
- Corsair Obsidian Series 250D Mini ITX Compact Gaming Case - Black (CC-9011047-WW)

- Intel Core i7 i7-4790K CPU (Quad Core 4GHz, Socket H3 LGA-1150)

- RAM UNDECIDED
- POWER SUPPLY UNDECIDED

Can anyone let me know if the processor will work with that motherboard?

Also any RAM recommendations and Power Supplies (trying to keep costs low for these 2 components) The power supply will need to power all the basics plus up to 4 SATA drives.

If you are not bothered about the "Gaming" Version or use the additional Z97 chipset features. Do a search for MSI Z87I AC ITX Motherboard. I have just bought one for a little over £50.

Also a 450w Gold Efficiency psy will do that little lot without an issue. As a matter of fact I think a 350w one will and there is a nice cheap Superflower Gold 350W on TWO.
