Hey, I'm planning a HTPC and CSGO/LAN PC
I don't plan to have a lot of programs on this PC, hence why I chose a 120GB SSD.

I might do some video rendering, and if I have the spare money I'll go with 16GB instead of 8GB.

Here's the parts list; http://pcpartpicker.com/list/nRzcTH

(is it an acceptable build and is there any way to make it cheaper?)

You can make it cheaper by not going with an unlocked (K) CPU and pairing it with a h110 mobo.

Kinda wasting a decent amount of money, don't really need an i5 for CSGO either as an i3 will do just as well if not better, especially since they come with higher clock rates. (Won't be as good for video editing though)
