Hi I am looking to build a high performance mini ITX desktop for personal use. I plan to install a of of heavy software - windows 10, visual studio, Eclipse and some more. I need good video (possibly 4K) video playback and moderate gaming performance. I do not want to spend on a separate graphics card. I have a configuration in mind as given below. Need your inputs if it looks OK.
1. Case: BitFenix Prodigy
2. Motherboard: ASUS H97I-PLUS LGA 1150 Intel H97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
3. Power Supply: Cooler Master V550 – Compact 550W
4. RAM: 8GB
5. Processor: Intel i5 4690
6. SSD: 256GB Samsung 850 EVO
7. HDD: Seagate HDD 1TB

will you be playing games on 4k, because that needs beast graphic cards, you still need a decent graphic card for 4k video playback too.

whats your max budget, country you will be buying from.

I am from India. My budget is between USD 800-850 . I am not looking to buy a separate graphics card right now. If that means not being able to playback 4K video, I am fine with it. I will not be playing 4K games either. However, I am open to add a graphics card in future (again for 4K playback only, no games)
