Help on Mini-ITX rig

[Acb]

Hi Mini-ITX experts, my desktop pc just went dead on me. Thus i decided to build a mini-itx system as its replacement. This is first time buidling mini-itx system so hoping to seek advices from experts in this forum

I have done some research and come out with the build below

Thermaltake Core V21 - 89 (fuwell)
Corsair CX650M Modular 600W 80+ Bronze- 119 (fuwell)
MSI 110I + i5 6500 - 417 (Cybermind), 418 (PC Themes)
G.Skill PC2400 CL15 DDR4 8 GB - 56 x 2 = 112 (fuwell)
Palit Gefore GTX 750 TI 2GB - 0 (Old Graphic Card)
C.Master Seidon 120V Plus Water Cooling Kit - 88 (fuwell)

I have give myself a budget of 800 bucks to build this rig. So i wonder is a water cooling kit a necessity for mini-itx system? Is heating an issue for mini-itx system? I see a alot of mini-itx builds online and most of them have come with a cooler kit.

Adding in the cooler kit will cost me around $826 so i wonder should i stick with my budget and throw the cooler kit away or just over-budget abit haha

Most of the time i will be using the system for surfing, watching videos or play abit of game. So i wonder if the above build is okay for me or not?

Feel free to give me advices and thanks for reading

Few things I think its not necessary,
1) DDR4 2400 - Think you can settle for cheaper 2133 rams. Only Z170 chipset supports anything higher than 2133.
2) 600W PSU - I think the rig don't require that much power though its good to have
3) Water Cooler

The mobo + CPU is not for overclocking, so the above may not be beneficial. I rather you invest the money on something else to upgrade.

Point noted on the RAM. I select 2400 over 2133 because the price difference between this 2 is small...I never realise that the mobo i choose did not support 2400 RAM, thanks for the advice.

What other things you think i should invest?

Thanks noted on the RAM and PSU advice. Will need to buy 2 sticks of RAM because i often need to run 2 or 3 virtual machines for work purposes.

Hmm...Wondering should I downgrade my PSU to cut cost..

Oh yeah i forget to list out my Harddisk...I intend to use back my old 256GB ssd and 1 TB western digital harddisk. Thanks for the reminder

when you building with thermaltake core v21.. its no more mini-itx...

get a proper mini-itx case such as silverstone sg13..

Oic..Is it too big for mini-itx? I actually don't mind a slightly bigger size since i am downgrading from a Full Tower casing which is my former system.

I was actually wanted to buy v1 at first because i like the design. However when i see v21, the design is almost the same but just slightly bigger in size and the price difference is not that much. And it seems to support mini-itx too

Then i guess a little bit more space might be useful when i arrange the cables in the casing. And also it might helps to improve the airflow in the casing too.

v21 is for micro atx form factor..
if you want mini ITX, it should be Core v1..
