So i need this Pc for making Youtube Videos, and i wanted it in as small as possible space, will this pc do for daily renders? and i use shadowplay for my recording hence the 750ti, im really quite partial to the 750ti, its worked wonders for me :3

The reason there is a semi modular PSU is because i dont want to overload the FD C 500 case with cables. and its the most cheapest and reliable that i could find.

Perhaps the cheapest GTX 950 will be better price/performance ratio. If the price of the cheapest 950 is already close to the cheapest 960, then 960 will do instead. I'm happy with the GTX 950. I use Shadowplay and Sony Vegas too, It's just fine.

Yesterday i bought a MSI GTX 970 Armor x2 off Gumtree for £125, talked him down from £150.

What games you playing? 750 ti is limited.

Good choice of CPU.

Add an SSD if you can even if its just a 128GB C:\

PSU is a bit shabby but i guess it works :)

i have a very tight budget in regards to parts, and that is a very good deal, i would of snapped that up in an instant lol, and i play mostly games such as bioshock, call of duty, hoping to get the newer ones soon, battlefield, i want to get any parts brand new as this is my first system and its going to be my main pc as i have no backups and if anything goes wrong i can just RMA parts.

The CX 430 is a low quality power supply. I would not use for a build like this. You can use the remaining 16 GBP to improve it, I'd recommend this:

Power Supply: SeaSonic 450W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply (£60.50 @ Kustom PCs)

THAT is a very reliable power supply.

Otherwise you picked nice components. I like the build.

I've got nothing further to add, It's a really likably solid build.

Edit: Actually, just one more. I really like the Phanteks Evolve ITX case. You seen it?

Heres something for you, that was my original case of choice, then i saw the Fractal Design Core 500 and fell in love with its size, small but mighty, its not something you would see with most computers tbh, but i really do like the angles and curves on that phanteks case, still, i want small :p

Actually, what about this? Includes a GTX 950 and an SSD. XFX TS 430w is solid too, just not modular and at the moment they seem to be going for a steal. Case remains optional typically, I like the Thermaltake F1 too.
