Hey guys, i'm building a Mini-ITX build for my girlfriend due to over 5 years of misery with laptops.

The main idea behind the ITX build is its portability and power to size ratio.

We dont need a monitor or operating system. We have no money limit, but we feel this spec/cost is perfect for her needs.

Please let me know if im missing anything or need to add anything.

Thanks.

The cooler wont fit due to the large DIMs on the memory, chose some low profile memory such as the Corsair XMS.

Ahh thanks for that, forgot about the rads on the memory.

Thanks everyone for the tips and input.

The i3 will only support 10666hmz or 13333 memory?

This says: Memory Controller: Dual channel DDR3 800/1066/1333 MHz?

You put originally "10666" and "13333"
