Mini-ITX Build

[thermique]

New build below, opinions appreciated as Ive been out of the loop for a good few years now. No gaming/not interested in overclocking on the system, main aims are an all round workhorse (current system is a bit sluggish with multitasking). Want to keep the system small and quiet hence mini-itx (leaving stock cooling for now, but will change this once I have the system in case I find it too noisy).

Intel 3570K Retail
Asus P8H77-I
Crucial M4 128gb
WD Caviar Green 3TB
8GB Corsair Vengeance (1600mhz C9)
Lian-Li PC-Q11B
XFX 550W Pro
Sony Optiarc AD-5280S

Comes in at about £615-620 and generally want to stick within £500-700.

Opinions welcome and appreciated.

Thanks.

What are your workloads??

Edit!!

Would you consider any other cases??

The FT03-Mini for example??

Case

Your case does look rather large for a mini-itx one, is the Hard drive a 3.5" one?

There are plenty of smaller cases for sure, but have you considered a micro atx one to give more choices on motherboards.

The Fractal Design Define Mini for instance, is a bit larger, but it has sound proofing material to keep it quieter and gives you more flexbility inside.

The Lian Li: (W) 200mm x (H) 326mm x (D) 260mm

Fractal Design Mini: (W) 210 x (H) 395 x (D) 490mm

PSU
About the PSU, I couldn't find a sound rating for the one you've chosen - but it might be worth getting a really quiet one listed by quietpc.com
