Friend is building an mini-itx, need help with parts
Hi all,
Friend of mine is building a mini-itx computer this fall but not sure what parts to really get.
So far I suggested a MSI mini-itx as the ASUS ROG is slightly expensive. The GPU an 870 4GB when it comes out
and a 600W PSU preferably Gold/Platinum rating. Initially he wants 8GB RAM and will upgrade to 16GB later on.
Any suggestions? The budget is around 800 euros (give or take 50). He already has W7.
CASE: Bitfenix Prodigy
MOBO: MSI/ROG
PSU: Corsair most likely
CPU: a more updated variant of i5 4570k
GPU: 870 4GB
SDD/HDD: Samsung EVO 256GB
there is no preference which branding, cost effectiveness and performance per dolla'
Thanks in Advance

Where do you live and what site can we use? I kinda just used a conversion, it won't match up obviously.
Do note you can probably just get 1x8GB instead of 2x4GB for dual channel and add a 1x8GB later if your friend wants.

Friend of mine is from Sweden so he will be using Swedish websites. Thanks for the build suggestion, I think the latter looks more appealing.
