Hello all!
With the new release of the Xbox One, PS4 and Steamboxes I've decided to build a semi-powerful gaming computer, one small enough to sit on my desk at college. The biggest difficulty was actually finding a case that was a SFF with support for a full-sized GPU. Luckily I found a rebranded OEM case that worked out pretty well.

Without further ado, here is the list of components: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2JP8M
In list form:
Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
ASRock H87M Pro4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1333 Memory
Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Asus GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card
Rosewill Legacy U3-B-Window MicroATX Mini Tower Case
SeaSonic 400W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

I know the SSD is a little small, but I figure after the productivity stuff and the fact that I'm storing most things on the cloud, I'll have about 100GB to use for games. At that point I can always delete/re-download games.
