Pc build planning

[razor_rob]

I am planing a pc build and I was wondering if this looked like a good/suitable set of components to fit in a bitfenix prodigy mini itx case. Also, it is a gaming/media pc mostly, but I will do some engineering homework on it since I'm a ChemE major.

Thanks for your help.

I would change a few things. In such a small case you are going to want a semi to fully modular PSU, plus you can get a better one for that price. Get ram with a lower CAS. The Samsung EVO is cheaper and is a great drive, I wouldn't get a EVGA 770 that wasn't a classified version especially if you want to OC. I made some changes and it came out $100 less than the original build so I added a larger SSD and HDD.
