I will be putting together a mini ITX computer In the near future. I'm not a gamer and overclocking is not a big concern. My objective is to have a small yet powerful (and quiet) desktop computer that will handle something relatively new to me -- video editing. I'm hoping heat won't be an issue given the components and small case size.

The video I'll be working with at first will be 1080p footage shot with a GoPro Hero Black and a Canon Rebel DSLR. I'm currently looking at software such as Lightworks and Cybgerlink powerdirector, but again this is new territory for me. Whichever software I end up using, I'll want a GPU that will be suitable for it.

Component list so far:
Case: Node 304
PSU: SeaSonic SS-520FL2 520W (fanless)
Mobo: Asus Z87I-Deluxe
CPU: i7-4770S
CPU HS: open for suggestions
RAM: open for suggestions (2 x 8GB) compatable with mobo
SSD1: Samsung 840 Pro 128GB (Windows7+Apps)
SSD2: inexpensive SSD ~120GB for working with media –– I already have a much larger HDD for media storage.
GPU: Open for suggestions; Budget <$300.

I'm thinking the i7-4770s would be a good choice due to its lower power consumption, thus less heat. I'm open for suggestions and criticisms. Thank you.
