I should mention this is my first PC build on any platform, so I'm a complete novice. And I should mention I'm trying to keep the price down.


Silverstone Tek Aluminum Tower Computer Case FT03B-MINI - Black


This is where I'm spending more money than strictly necessary. Aesthetically, it's hard to find a good-looking small case, but this one will do for me.


Corsair CX Series 500 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Bronze ATX12V/EPS12V 456 Power Supply CX500M


Gigabyte GA-H87N-WIFI LGA 1150 Intel H87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard Mini


Intel Core i3-4330 Dual Core Processor 3.5 2 NA (BX80646I34330)


So, here's where I think I might be skimping a bit too much. The machine is being built for being able to play Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen when they are released for Mac. Which is a very long time off in the future. So I can upgrade later. But if I'm fairly certain I'm upgrading, why bother with buying a processor, only to buy another one? Am I trying to hard to save money?


PNY GeForce GTX 650 Ti Graphics Cards (VCGGTX650T1XPB) Graphics Cards VCGGTX650T1XPB


Same issue as above--I think this is adequate, but I might have to get a better one?


Crucial M500 120GB SATA 2.5-Inch 7mm (with 9.5mm adapter) Internal Solid State Drive CT120M500SSD1


I have never filled up storage, so I always buy the smallest useful one.


Crucial Ballistix Sport XT 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL9 at 1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin Memory Modules BLS2C4G3D169DS3


Anyway, let me know what you think. :)
