[DIY] mini itx build suggestion

[mqz512]

Hello guys, I intend to build a mini itx system for purpose of watching shows (bluray, 4K), editing photos and 4k videos, light gaming and normal web browsing.

Asus Z97i Plus mitx/ Intel 4690K. Tradepac $509
Corsair 380T mini itx case. PCtheme $215
Corsair Vengence Pro 2x8gb 1866 ddr3. Tradepac $226
PSU either
Corsair AX760i. PCtheme $275 or
SUPERFLOWER 750W (not sure can fit 160mm limit of 380T) PCtheme $165
CPU cooler Corsair H100i. PCtheme $153


Will be reusing ssd, monitor from prev rig. GfX might hold off for now, use integrated graphics first.
Need recommendations for PSU, cpu cooler especially for a small 380T casing.
Also any good external bluray drive to recommend?

Erm....

1) If you want to watch videos in 4K, you are going to need at least a high end GPU like the GTX 970 to be able to watch 4K videos properly. If you wish to game at 4K, may need at least 2 of them. This may depend on your definition of light gaming. What games do you play?

2) Are you going to rip the Blu-rays into your computer or are you just going to use the Blu-ray drive to play the Blu-rays? If you wish to just play movies directly from the Blu-ray disc, things are not that straightforward as the Blu-ray drives lack the decoding software to decode Blu-ray discs and you are going to need either special Blu-ray playback software or to use a video conversion software to rip the Blu-ray into a format that your rig can read to playback the Blu-ray. A Blu-ray player would be cheaper and less troublesome.

U dun need a 970 just to watch 4K videos... But if its for gaming, then yes.

Not intending to game in 4k. But might buy a ultrawide screen monitor to pair with later on
Is the PSU overkill? I m not sure of other models which can fit in 380T nicely(160mm length max)

Superflower Leadex series PSU is 200m long, not suitable for ITX case.

I got the 650W model from Lazada and had to return it.

Corsair CS650M 650W psu only 140mm. Suitable for cases that have max 160mm psu space.

380T you can get from Amazon, $129 USD and free shipping
