I'm going to college this fall, this isn't my first build, but I want some advice on my current build for college.

Here's the link to my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Gkmm

Here are the specs:
Intel Core i7-3770 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe Mini ITX LGA1155 Motherboard

EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card

Corsair Builder 500W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply
Asus BC-12B1ST/BLK/B/AS Blu-Ray Reader, DVD/CD Writer

make sure the ps is 650w unit bronze or a slightly larger unit. with a small case you want to use a slightly over sized power supply to keep the air that the ps going to be dumping into the case cool. with a smaller ps and loading it with a hard core game your going to drop a lot of extra heat into the case. also i dont trust the max output voltages that a lot of these ps vendors stamp there power supplys with. I see to many people posting here with power issues and having high end gpu and 500w ps and wonder why when gaming there pc locks up or resets.
