im trying to get some parts together to build my first computer, here are the parts i have picked out so far.

Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Noctua NH-U9B SE2 37.9 CFM CPU Cooler
Asus Maximus VI Impact Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Superclocked Video Card
EVGA Hadron Mini ITX Tower Case w/500W Power Supply
EVGA 100-OD-S101-BR DVD/CD Writer
Noctua NF-S12B FLX 59.2 CFM 120mm Fan X 2

any opinions would be nice, also helpful tips on building the computer would be nice as well, thanks in advance!
 
Solution
That would be a nice a powerful PC that will max everything at 1080p for the foreseeable future. It'll do well at 1440p too.

Although you might want to consider the GTX 970 instead. It has more VRAM and consumes less power.

GPU, CPU and RAM are more than enough to handle upcoming games - especially GPU.

For this graphic card you would have to buy a better PSU, I would recommend you to replace the 500W one with a more powerful to fully use the potential of this configuration.
 


CPU - Get the i5 4690k instead. Devils Canyon revision i5 is better in every way, and costs the same.
RAM - 8GB of low latency DDR3 1600 should be plenty. If you really want 16GB though, just make sure you buy high quality, low latency DIMMS.
GPU - Get a GTX 970 instead of a 780ti. The gigabyte G1 Gamer 970 will usually OC to the 1500 range on the GPU core and is as fast as a stock 780ti while using less power, generating less heat and costing less.
PSU - Find out what PSU they are including with that case. 500w might be barely enough. I'd rather see you get a good quality 550-650w unit, maybe an XFX or Rosewill Hive.
