Hey yall, I would like to ask you guys again for some suggestions for some parts for my new main rig. I wanna build a Mini Itx build because i wanna have more space in my home thus Itx is my new plan now. However im in a tight budget so basically i already list down some parts that im planning to buy. Pls suggest some better parts or feel free to comment if i made any mismatch parts.

Case:Fractal Design Define Nano S Windowed
CPU:Intel Pentium g4560 (for now, after i get more money ill probably upgrade it to higher CPU like Kabylake I7 or Ryzen 7)
MOBO:B250I GAMING PRO AC (this one i really need some feedback because im planning to overclock moderately so i want some suggestion of a better and cheaper, if possible, gaming motherboard.)
Ram: Kingston Hyper X Fury 16GB DDR4 2400 Memory Kit
GPU:MSI GTX 1050ti 4gb OR Radeon™ RX460 WINDFORCE OC 4G.
SSD:Kingston UV300 120gb
HDD: 500gb/1tb WD hard drive or Seagate Hard drive (its my old one)
PSU: I still have no idea what PSU will be nice to buy.
CPU cooler:Corsair Hydro Series H105 240mm Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

P.S. I am new in pcmasterrace so please forgive me if i made any mistakes in paring the parts. Thank you so much in advance

the asrock is not a overclock mainboard and is a for 6th generation cpus, the g4560 will not work in it untill you update bios in it, to update bios in it, you need a cpu supported by the mainboard to do that process

the b250 is fine, but is not a overclock menat mainboard

for overclocking you need a z270 mainboard and a k cpu

if you do that on a mini itx case you need a really good and small heatsink or watercooler aio kit

my point is that overclocking on a itx case is complicated and expensive, you start your build with the most cheap but decent cpu, so you probably don't have the money for those parts, so you want to overclock to compensate, but overclocking a cpu sometimes just offers 5 or 6 frames per second more, often offers...
the cpu is not overclockable

the mainboard will not matter for that reason

the 1050ti is faster

the ssd, that kingston is hated for being slow and problematic, if you search for it you won't find good opinions over it, i do have a sv400, has worked very well for a couple months

1 tb wd or 1 tb toshiba is better but if you already have one, use it

the psu, one semimodular for a mini itx that is really very useful, for those parts, get a corsair cx500m at least
 


Any suggestion for the motherboard? I was looking at Asrock h110m itx but im not sure

so, forget the overclocking goal, keep the original list mentioned and save that money for later, bigger cpu, a i5 or i7, a good heatsink that fits on the itx and enjoy the nice little machine that can do everything you ask it to do
