M-ITX Gaming Build need some help.

[Guest]

Hey, I am thinking of building a m-itx gaming build to replace a console, it has to be m-itx because of very limited space. These are the components I have got so far:

Intel Core i3 3220
MSI B75IA-E33
Corsair Memory XMS3 Classic 4GB
MSI Overclocked Radeon HD 7870
Mini ITX USB 3.0 Case from Cooler Master
Samsung 24x SH-224BB DVD-RW
Seagate 500Gb 3.5" Barracuda Hard Drive 7200rpm 16MB Cache

I am unsure of PSU or extra cooling, tell me what you think.

I would spend the extra $50 on an i5.

You get two additional cores (as opposed to logical) and an extra 3mb L3

Sexy. I like those. My only problem is that I would have no place to put it. Most desks still favor the mid towers.

I am not familiar with that modle CPU cooler. A hyper 212 evo should fit. If you go i5 look at a H60 Corsair closed loop, it'll fit no problem.
