Mini ITX build [Need advice on basket]

[/\ndy]

Hey guys

If someone could please check this basket for me and make sure I'm using the right bits it would be really appreciated!

YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI Radeon R9 270 Gaming Edition OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £125.99
1 x Intel Core i3-4130 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £89.99
1 x Gigabyte Z97M-D3H Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard £79.99
1 x BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX Cube Case - Midnight Black £64.99
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 550W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £53.99
Total : £429.05 (includes shipping : £11.75).



Its intended to be a PC for general purpose use, with occasional but rare gaming, mainly for browsing the web, youtube etc, watching movies.

Trying to keep costs down as much as I can, you think this gpu is any good? and do you think it will fit the case OK?

**Note - I have 16gb DDR3 RAM spare so don't require this, also have a spare SSD**

Good shout with that CPU, save quite a chunk there. Is it relatively easy to overclock using stock cooling?. Also completely overlooked the case/mobo combination! The build you put together looks good danewesley. Strongly considering this.

I also have a spare GTX 460 kicking about which I might use for now (just hope it fits!), could always get a new card if absolutely necessary should this one be too underpowered.


Gonna go with this then:

Size isnt really an issue, i just like the compact look i guess. Why choose a mini itx? Are they that much smaller than micro atx?
