Hi everyone. I'm new here, and looking for some help for my upcoming new pc, since I'm not very knowledgeable in these matters. Also, please, excuse my english, I'm from Italy.
I'd like to build a pc that can handle some gaming (as long as I can play medium setting it's fine) and emulation (pcsx2 and dolphin), even though it would be occasional, and some amateur photo editing and mixing/sound editing. My budget is around 400 €, since I also have to buy a monitor. I'll probably buy a dedicated GPU next Christmas, in the meantime I'll manage with the integrated one.
So far, I've come up with this:

CPU: Intel i3 6100. Should have plenty of power for my needs, and it's cheap.
Motherboard: I'm unsure. definitely a mATX, since the case will be on the small side, definitely not overclocking. Not really sure if there'll be a noticeable difference in performance between h110, b150 and h170 chipsets, or if it's just a matter of ports and connections. I was looking at something like MSI B150M MORTAR.
Memory: HyperX Fury 2x4gb DDR4 2133Mhz
Storage: Crucial BX200 SSD 240Gb. I rarely ever use a lot of storage space, so I'd rather have the snappiness of an SSD.
Case: Aerocool QS240 or V3X. It has to be fairly small, since I don't have a lot of space. These seem well built. A slightly pricier alternative would be the Cooler Master N200.
Power supply: Thermaltake Smart SE 530W ATX 80+ Bronze. Semimodular, to reduce the amount of cables for better airflow, being the case smallish.

Any comments on this configuration? Anything you'd change? If any, could you please give me a reason as to why you'd change it? So I can better understand.

Thanks a lot,

Stefano
