    Mini ITX sys for photo processing and some slideshow creation

    I have put the following list together of parts and any thoughts on it would be appreciated.

    Intel Core i7-4790 3.6GHz Quad-Core
    Asus Z97I-PLUS Mini ITX
    Corsair Vengeance LP 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600
    Crucial M550 512GB M.2 SSD
    Crucial MX100 512GB 2.5" SSD
    Palit GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB KalmX
    Silverstone FT03B-MINI (Black) Mini ITX Tower
    Silverstone 450W SFX12V

    I won't be doing any overclocking thus not having a K processor. I need fast data transfers thus the two SSDs (plus the MB has the M2 slot and it really would be a sin to not use it )

    any other thoughts are appreciated

    What OS are you using?? What type of photo processing are you doing?? What software is being used??

    I would get a Xeon E3 1230 V3:

    Its a slightly downclocked Core i7 4770. I would get this motherboard:

    My mate did a build with the same parts recently.

    Regarding the graphics card,remember a passive card might end up making your system fans spin up quicker as it needs to remove the heat anyway.

    However,I would be more inclined to get a R7 260X or R7 265 as they have better OpenCL performance:

    I'm running Adobe CC so Photoshop and Lightroom CC editions. I'll also be using After Effects for creating the slide shows.

    I wanted that MB because it's one of very few on the market that have the M2 slot so that I could have an M2 SSD. I don't mind paying the extra little bit for the i7.

    Also in relation to the heat from the GPU - the case has the 90 degree rotated construction so therefore heat rises and shouldn't be an issue in the case
