GA-H55N-USB3 Build

[Catbert6]

Looking for any opinions / suggestions on a GA-H55N-USB3 build - similar to the recommended but with more CPU, RAM and graphics power. WOuld be used for WOW, Aperture and some light video work:

OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666 Gold 2x4GB OCZ3G1333LV8GK
Gigabyte ATI Radeon HD5770 Ultra Durable 1GB
Intel Core i5 760
Silverstone SG05 Black Cube Mini ITX Case
Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 Mini-ITX Motherboard
SONY AD-7710 SATA Slim Black Internal DVDRW
Scythe Big Shuriken CPU Cooler

If your going to be doing video work, are you going to be needing firewire? If so, then I would go with the GA-H55M-USB3 motherboard. Other than that, your build looks good.

Thanks for the heads up - if I am reading the specs right, the H55M has a larger form factor (Micro ATX rather than Mini ITX) and would require a larger case?

Yes, you will need a larger case.
