Hello everyone.
- I am currently looking for some components, for my upcoming ITX build. I am stuck when it come to the PSU, I am not sure if I should get a bigger, or smaller PSU.
- I am putting together this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/qM29RB
- The computer will mainly be used for games, video editing and programming.
- Would you suggest getting a i7-4790k, over the i5-4690k, as I do some multitasking? Is it worth the extra couple of bucks?
- Any other kinds of suggestions would be appreciated. This is my second build, but my first ITX build. The RAM and SSD listed has already been bought, as I got it rather cheap, as there was a discount on it in my area.
- Thanks in advance, this is my first time posting here.

people state that you can have the full sized graphics card and a full sized PSU. the PSU you currently have chosen is fine (i just checked the coolermaster site and it states 'full sized ATX PSU's are fine') - as long as it's a main brand and at least bronze then you should always be good .Might want to make it modular as well - costs more but you will be thankful when you're building the rig.

I personally wouldnt pay for the I7 unless you were doing some serious video editing, rendering, coding and the likes. I have the I5 and i can...
