Just looking for thoughts on a build idea. I want to build an ultra compact PC for everything but gaming, 3D and video editing. These are the specs I was thinking of:

Plus this cooler: AKASA Low Profile Intel Cooler: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Akasa-AK-CC7129BP01-Profile-Intel-Cooler/dp/B00D5T1QTC/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1427421836&sr=1-1&keywords=1150+cooler+low+profile (not on PC-Partpicker for some reason)


What do you guys think? Ive built a fair few PCs but this will be the first Hackintosh and by far most compact build I've attempted! Just want to get rid of my HUGE windows build from 2 years ago and stop using Windows all together. Is it worth it? Or should I just buy a Mac Mini?
