    Hi
    I'm a mechanical engineering student from denmark and I want a mini itx build for my study and for gaming. The build should be focused on CAD (solidworks) and heavy work in math programs like Matlab, but still able to be used for gaming. I like gaming but i don't need a top of the line gaming build. I've thrown together a list of parts based on my knowledge and the parts that are available with my local dealer:

    - CPU: Intel Core I7-4790K 4GHz 8M LGA1150
    - GPU: PNY Quadro K620 2GB DDR3 Low Profile
    - PSU: SilverStone SFX Series SX500-LG
    - RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB DDR3 240-pin
    - SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5in SATA 6Gb/s
    - MB: MSI Z97I AC mini ITX LGA1150
    - AIO-Water cooling: Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX
    - Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 250D mini ITX

    What i your thoughts on the build? How can i make it better or cheaper? And do you have a monitor/monitor's you can recommend for my needs?

    Im not sure how easy parts are to get from your location but what is your budget, judging by what you describe a decent amount $$?
    Check out intels new skylakes if your budget allows
    also the gpu looks fine dont expect to play hardcore on it tho.
    the liquid cooler should give you a nice amount of space inside the case as well.
