"Never ask a question you don't want to hear the answer to."

In all seriousness you've brought what is essentially an ITX version of my build. Idk what you're planning to do with it but the one think I'd say is that 16GB is unnecessary. That being said you might have very well thought out reasons for needing that much. The case looks pretty cool, always hearing good things about Silverstone.

Good luck with the build!
 
haha good point, and so far no one has said otherwise ;) If I were to answer the questions myself, no buyer's remorse... I did enough quality research to justify the pricing and value, furthermore form and function. It should be a straight forward multibeast install with very minor tweaking.

I almost dropped to 8gb but after having been on 2gb and 4gb for the last 7 years, and really feeling the constraints, I couldn't resist the extra wiggle room. At the high end I'll be running a variety of Adobe apps concurrently.

Thank you for the reply!
