Looks like you shouldn't have any problems. What will it be used for?

 

[Ctothep37]

Just typical computing stuff: photos, web, etc. I have an i7 Mac mini but it just got dedicated to the kids for their school work and kids gaming, so I figured I'd try out an initial build and tweak from there.

i do do Handbrake conversions, lite web development, but mostly for web and listening to music

Looks great for those purposes. Will be plenty fast for transcoding video or audio.
Orange color looks sharp too. Best of luck on your build
