Morning
I am planning to build a mITX rig. Downloading stuff, some gaming on TV.

Specs so far:
EVGA 650W SuperNOVA NEX650G 80+ Gold Fully Modular Power Supply
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-001-EA

Fractal Design Node 304 case

MSI Z87I S1150 Intel Z87 DDR3 mITX
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-243-MS

Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) Tactical DDR3 1600MHz CL8 1.5v 240pin

Asus AMD Radeon R9 270X 1120MHz 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E 3.0 HDMI DirectCU II TOP OC
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-324-AS

Intel Core i5-4430 S1150 3.0GHz 6MB Haswell Quad Core Processor
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-479-IN

Can anyone advise against any of these? or improvements perhaps? Thank you
 
I can throw another £100 in if there would be a sufficient benefit to the build :)
Not really sure about PC. Used DCII on few occasions and asus does not dissapoint
 
Do you already have an HDD and an SSD?

YOUR BASKET
1 x Powercolor Radeon R9 270X DEVIL 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £163.99
1 x Intel Core i5-4430 3.00GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £137.99
1 x Gigabyte H87N-WIFI Intel H87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard £89.99
1 x Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TE120BW) £68.99
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLD38G1600HC9DC01) £55.99
1 x Cooler Master Elite 130 RC-130-KKN1 Mini ITX Case - Black £45.95
1 x BeQuiet Pure Power L8 500W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply - With 120mm Silent Wing Fan Built in £39.95
Total : £612.44 (includes shipping : £8.00).



You won't need a 650w PSU. That BeQuiet unit will power your rig quite happily, and it will do it quietly. An H87 motherboard will save you a bit.

I've heard only good things about the Powercolor Devil, and with 5 free games and backplate I'd find it very difficult to resist its charms.

Just received my mini itx build and really liking your spec, I personally went for:

Corsair 250d
evga z87 stinger
Intel i5 4670k
evga nex650g
corsair vengeance pro 8gb
Samsung 840 evo 120gb
2* seagate barracuda 2tb hard drives
evga gtx760 superclocked

Now contemplating doing custom water cooling as this system will be in the lounge and my other machine is water cooled and the reduction in noise level is worth the cost in my opinion
