Hi,

I want to build my first mini itx gaming pc.
i chose these parts.

Questions:

Should i go for a higher end gpu (i use pc mainly for 1080p gaming)?
Other parts i should change?
Will i be able to overclock (by purchasing a corsair h60)?

Please keep in mind, i live in Belgium (europe) and the prices are way higher than the US (33% difference +-).

Thanks!

Looks like a pretty decent start but the Corsair CX430 will *NOT* power that rig. You want at least a Seasonic G series or an XFX Pro series. If you're not overclocking there isn't a need for a 4670K. Although if you post the store you're buying from that will help to suggest parts. Links to Newegg and Micro Center will not be of use to you if you live in Belgium. If you don't know of a store this thread will point you in the right direction: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1643019/guide-international-users-links-part-stores.html

g-unit1111 :

Well i'm not sure if i want to overclock in the future, what CPU would you suggest if i'm not overclocking?
Im buying from Mindfactory (german shop, a lot cheaper than the belgian ones), so no limitation on parts once so ever.
And for the PSU, howmuch watts do i need then?
Would the "550 Watt XFX Pro Core Edition Non-Modular 80+ Bronze" be able to power this build?

Thanks for the response
