1st PC build - small form factor, compatibility advice

[SuperGiles]

Hi everyone

Excited to be building my first (and much needed) PC.

Just a quick background to my build. I've decided on a small (ish) form factor as i do have limited space. This will be primarily built with gaming in mind, nothing higher than 1080p with 60fps for most current games.
This will be however my only computer device so will be used for all sorts as well, Video streaming, Bit of CAD/photo shop type stuff and of course word processing.My budget is around £750.00 but that may not possible with what i want performance wise. i'm willing to spend more if need be.

i haven't selected all my parts yet, but hopefully you guys can guide me in the right direction.

My current thoughts regarding parts are:

Case: Fractal design Define Nano S (my idea was that this is on the larger side for an itx build, making my life a lot easier with building and part selection.)

GPU: Sapphire nitro+ RX 480x 8GB

CPU: Intel i5-6500

PSU: SilverStone SX500-LG (500W) (Is this powerful enough for my rig???)

MOBO: really unsure, i'm looking for longevity in this build, and good wifi capability.any suggestions? i'm still looking at the mo.

Cooler: Deepcool Gammaxx 400 Slim-Tower CPU Cooler (too big?)

Storage: Samsung evo 850 500GB (+ a hdd later on for storage of pictures etc)


Thank you in anticipation

FYI i'm in the middle of moving at the moment so am pretty busy, will post links/prices later.

Ram: HyperX Fury Black 8GB (4GB x2) DDR4 2133MHz CL 14 Memory

Great choice for the case! If you want longevity I'd spend $168 more to go for the overclockable i5-6600K and a Z170 motherboard. Also 16GB of RAM. I'd get a known quality power supply, the Silverstone is of very questionable quality. Here's the build:

Go for this build unless you wanna upgrade the GPU in near future.
RX480 or GTX1060 are not performing well at 1080p and it will become worse in time to come.
GTX1070 is minimum requirement for 1080p unless you plan to upgrade your GPU in few months(which probably you won't be doing).
