Hi I want to build a pc/mini pc for media just for 300 euro but at the last minute I surfed around forums to see which h110 mobo or h150 motherboard are working with Kaby Lake series and I'm afraid to upgrade a H110 bios motherboard so I want to go for b250 which is a better solution I guess.Well I came here for tips mostly because I don't know if the parts I have picked are vfm or simply trash.

PC-Case : Cougar MG100 (mini case can put only Micro ATX)
Mobo : ASUS PRIME B250M-K or GB B250M-DS3H (I would go with GB but Ive heard good rumors about Asus prime too so I can't Decide )
CPU: Intel Pentium g4560 (Kaby Lake) + stock cooler
RAM: RAM Ballistix 4GB DDR4 2400 Sport LT White (x1)
HDD: TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 1TB SATA3 7200 (I trust Toshiba more than western digital I had issues with bad sectors with western digital and I have changed more than 4 Disks and since I've got x2 Toshiba I didn't had any issue expect its speed)
PSU: X-power (OEM) 450W ATX 12CM BLACK FAN (you would recommend something better but at my country Psu costs more than 70 euro and its not worth because they have old corsair series)
GPU: no gpu needed since the pentium g4560 has intel hd 520 i dont need it for gaming.I want a machine just simple a bit powerful and upgradable.

in future upgrade I will add gpu/4gb more ram and better psu.I just want your opinion and guide me for a better system.Thanks for reading and thanks to those who would reply.

Case: I understand everyone have their own favorites when it comes to cases, but is there a reason you picked this particular one?
HDD: Why not go Hitachi if you are afraid of hdd failure? I myself don't understand why toshiba would be better than wd, but backblaze tells me hitachi is the most dependable on servers. and depends on your usage, and amount of file you have, why are you only using 1TB? and only one HDD if your case supports 2 HDDs and 1 SSD?

Mobo and CPU is good enough for server.

I have x2 Toshiba in my main system and Ive had few system failure but it performs well and after 2 years.Hitachi is the most expensive and bad categorized HDD for some reason.And I think 1TB for only media is enough I guess.

Case: Its really small easy to travel with. (that's the main reason)

I know the hdd that you recommended is really really good but you don't know what HDD you get here because most of companies refubish them and selling them like new but after 6-7 months they are dead.

yes that is what he meant. please give us your location (uk?us?canada?india?somewhere else?)

edit: I know sometimes shops cheat you with refurbished items but that is why you must stick with reputable places. in any case what can you do to stop people cheating you? Nothing. It's a risk we all have to take buying stuff online.
