Hello,

I am building a tiny PC for my dad - he mainly uses it for Flight Sim and Total War. The key for him is quiet and small. This is the spec I came up with. Any obvious flaws, issues or improvements?

Really appreciate any guidance you can give.

CPU: Intel Core i3-4330 3.5ghz (Haswell Socket LGA1150 = £91.99
GPU: KFA2 GeForce GTX 750 Low Profile 1024mb = £79.99
Mem: TeamGroup Elite Black 8gb (2x4gb) DDR3 12800C11 1600Mhz = £59.99
Mobo: Asus H81I Plus Intel H81 (Socket 1150) Mini ITX = £58.99
SDD: Kingston 120gb = £47.99
Case: Cubitek Mini Cetner Mini ITX Case = £37.99
PSU: Silverstone Strider Essential Series 400 Watt = £35.99

Total: £422.53

p.s. couldn't post picture of basket
 
Is the low profile graphics card to allow air to circulate easier? As I thought the normal sized MSI for same price would possibly be quieter as larger fan can be run slower (may be).

Edit: Not sure I'd go with Kingston SSD going by the reputation they got for sneakily switching internals that performed worse.
