Adata XPG Gaming v1.0 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (AX3U1600GC4G9-2G)

What make and model PSU?

Looks great but I would get better RAM, had those myself and they aren't great.

I have an OCZ ZT 650 watt,, yes I know people on here scoff when the OCZ brand is mentioned but I already have the unit spare so no need to buy another one.

Thanks Idleman Illl change the memory to this

I don't think anyone here scoffs at OCZ?

Their units are made by CWT which aren't as reputable as Seasonic but some of Corasir's PSU's are made by CWT.

Older OCZ stuff wasn't brilliant, but the Z series have been decent enough to be recommended. So you have a good PSU for the system

Just make sure its going to fit, clearance in that case doesn't look like much

I'm also looking at putting together a similar build so have been cheekily copying the above spec in my trolley

One question - that Mini ITX case will fit a dual-slot graphics card?

Yupp, you'll have to remove the middle hard drive cage to fit in any dedicated graphics card unless it's very short.
