Hi,
I'm building my first m-itx system, these are the parts I selected: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CjwXVn
The system would be used for photo editing, mainly Adobe Lightroom and some Photoshop, no video editing or 3d rendering, so I think the onboard graphic will do fine.
As the case is quite small I'm a bit unsure about the PSU and coolers. I chose a Corsair 430W, modular, so that it should fit better, and I plan to use the cooler that comes with the i5-4570. The case comes with three fans.
In the future I might add one more HDD or SDD, and if needed another 8gb of memory. I attach a couple of external hard drives from time to time for backup purposes, plus a card reader and a USB wifi dongle.
Would the power be enough for my requirements? What about the cooler that comes with the cpu? Would it be enough considering the size of the case or should I go for an aftermarket? I don't plan to overclock, and I don't play games.
Thanks for any help,
Alessandro
