Any reason for mini itx?
I can't really do intel for your build.
By the way are you going to need a hard drive or an extra one?
Thanks

At your budget mITX won't happen as you can ONLY go intel mITX and the motherboard are too expensive and won't leave any money for a good GPU.

Change to mATX and your options open up greatly.

I would not use the CX units from Corsair. They are made with cheap low end capacitors are fail easily.

An XFX450 would be MUCH more ideal for this build.

I see this is mATX. Hmm. I must think about this.
But about graphics I think about some GeForce GTX 750. Its better than R7 260x doesnt it?

Ok, please try some build for mATX.

GTX 750 is par with R7 260x and this is probably the best build you can get in your budget

I have included a higher capacity Power Supply so you are capable of overclocking. It's a great option of getting great performance out of your CPU

650w is pointless here. You could get the 550w version, overclocking everything to MAX possible speeds and still not even come close to 400w.

He may upgrade his graphics card in the future and he may sli or crossfire in the future. I mean I wouldn't keep an r7 series

Well, 650w really isn't enough for most SLI/ CF setups and pretty much ANY GPU he can use with his CPU will easily run on 550w.

Even if the NVidia cards are now better, they are still more expensive. The R7 260X will do just nicely for your needs

I have a 660ti and the new drivers made a BIG difference for me. I'm not in any way An AMD or Nvidia fanboy. I buy whatever is the best value for money at the time.

I would drop that CPU cooler. It is not really enough for overclocking and the stock cooler will be fine for no overclocking.

You do not need a cooler. One comes with the CPU.

Yes that RAM is fine.
