I'm building my first htpc, and was just wondering how this setup sounds. I'm going to be watching movies off my NAS, Netflix, and using emulators. I'm hoping to use all the way up to Dolphin. Here's what I decided on so far.
Case - Cooler Master Elite 130
MOBO - asrock Z87E-ITX
CPU- I5 4670K
GPU - EVGA GEFORCE GTX 750TI
Memory - Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB X2
Watercooler - Corsair H80I

I'm wondering if this is overkill for what I'm looking to do, and if there is an area to cut cost without affecting too much on performance. I'm also looking for a PSU to purchase with this. I will have a SSD and HDD installed as well. Any advice would be appreciated as well since i've never actually built my own pc before. This is all from researching, but I thought I would get a bit more help from this forum.

That will be super overkill haha! You should be ok with just a G3258 and no watercooler.

Thank you for your input. That processor would be enough to emulate with Dolphin?

Hmm, after looking at dolphin requirements it may be a good idea to get that i5.
