I would drop a little extra on power supply... never want to cheap out. I just replaced a bad corsair unit I was never happy with too. A few more dollars:

Grab yourself an SSD for your OS. You'll love it. Samsung 850 EVO (250 GB version is a good number) is a must. Keep the 1TB drive for all your games to go on. SSD's are kind of a must have for PCs now, and you'll enjoy it a lot more.

Otherwise, looks like a solid line up to me. Never had an Asrock motherboard so maybe some others can chime in on that one.

Already have that SSD ready for the build and a Kingston SSD.

Never had ANY issues with my current Corsair PSU. Does a fantastic job and keeps me going!

Thank you for the heads up though

Never had an issue with any ASRock mobo's I've owned. I'm running one in my makeshift NAS, and it's still going strong. However, personally, I would get a little more ram. 8GB is fine, but nowadays, a gaming system will run a lot better with at least 16 GB.

I'd think, if you were to take a survey, most of us are running at least 16 GB, maybe 24 GB, some even (like me) running 32 GB.

This. 4x4 is a nice thing to have, fill all your DIMM's up.

Any particular reason for ITX? Or just like small size?

In terms of money, I dont have enough for 16GB other i'd be getting a 4x4GB set. But i'll be running the 2x4GB in dual channel and then upping to 16GB eventually.

I am a believer in bigger psu's, but I know money limits things, but you will be pushing it. It will work just fine, but it sure is nice to have a little extra with gpu's, case fans/lights, heat sink fans etc.
