I'd love to add a more Powerful PSU and a better GPU. That would last me years...

RussK1 :
I try not to spend > $45usd on a mouse. I bought a RAT 7 for $100 one time... worse $100 ever spent. I could have bought 2 mice that weighed less with better sensors. 
I had a R.A.T. 5 - hated it. I liked the adjustable palm rest but that was about it. Otherwise it was very awkward to use especially for long periods of time. I got the Corsair M65 to replace it and it's a million times better.

Seriously watch Review, it's one of the funniest shows I've seen in recent years. The last couple of episodes I was on the floor laughing.

Which one? The original Carl Sagan or the recent one with Neil DeGrasse Tyson? Both are pretty awesome. I have the BD-R of the Neil DeGrasse Tyson one.

I've never heard about kodi/xbmc, is that a new streaming service?
And for my SFF build I want the Raven Z02, that was my whole reason for doing this build, but I also now would not be opposed to getting a Phanteks Enthoo Evolv. Then I could use a power supply that I already have. That would save money there. Anyone have any objection to that?

Kodi is just the new name for XBMC(Xbox Media Center). It is cool, but you would require a source like cable to record. It works similar to media center and has many back-end options.
It is not the product you are looking for to replace netflix that is for sure.
It may have to try it out since MCE is on its way out for sure.
Onto your SFF build. YES YES YES!!!
SFX power supplies sometimes come with a plate to use in place of ATX power supplies. This allows you to use other cases if you want(and the cables reach).

I'm still rocking a couple of Logitech G5s. I've had to open them up to remove accumulated cat hair from the scroll wheel perhaps once or twice.
I've got a Logitech trackball on my test bench, but I may switch to a wireless rat (and keyboard) there instead.
Somewhere I've got at least one Trackball Explorer that still works. I need to dig that out so I can test Scrooge with UT 2K4 and/or '98 GOTY. It auto-upgraded to Win10 (I unchecked all the spooky stuff, of course), and handled all the "normal" tasks associated with writing my last article just fine (Word+Excel+Windows Explorer+Firefox+AV) without feeling sluggish. I've also played GW1 on it with maxed settings; there was a slight bit of jitter when a bunch of Dead Things were onscreen, but not too bad at all.

So I should stick to the plan then? I was also looking at the In Win 901 which I have really liked for quite a while. Of course it's not as small as the Raven 02, but still... I love both cases and am torn between the two.

The 901 is a slick looking case.
My case choices now tend to be on what will fit in the area I want to place the computer.
It used to be how much crap can I fit in this case.

I might just go for a Raven 01 or the Fortress Z 02. The bad thing is I'm trying to do this as cheap as possible. For the In Win it would be $139 and I would not have to buy PSU or optical drive. Going with the Raven or a similar case I would be paying $129 for the case, $99 for PSU, and $40 for optical. Decisions, decisions.

Well I got tires of the H60 being...well....a crappy AIO cooler, so I swapped it for my Hyper T4 and 2 SP120s. Works great and keeps the 3570k under 65c at 4.5ghz. People say this is not as good as the 212 EVO but I believe they just can't install it correctly. I have read alot on Overclock.net about people who get it installed right actually have benched it beating the 212 EVO by 1-2c. Anyway, here it is:

So I pulled the trigger on the Silverstone SX500G today. All that is left for me to buy is the case. I want to stick to my original plan of getting the Raven 02. That was my whole reason for doing this build in the first place. The In Win is a nice case, but I want this build to be as small as possible.

I think the RV02 is smaller in width as well. But the RV01 I would be totally OK with as well. I also like the look of the Fortress FT02.
