    I need two USB 3.0 ports and one 2.0 port, a HDMI connection, the ability to play 1080p at a high bitrate (bluray quality), and a 240GB+ SSD and decent sound. I'll be getting Windows 8.1 separately. Will this build do?

    Intel Pentium G3260 3,3GHz 55.99
    MSI H81M-E33, mATX 48.99
    4GB Crucial DDR3 1600 21.99
    Sharkoon MA-M1000, mATX 31.99
    EVGA 430 ATX 2.3 41.99
    240 GB SSD Silicon Power S60 SATA3 74.99

    Total price: 275,94 €

    Drop PSU to a 200 or 250w and you'll save a few bob, and up the SSD to a Crucial or Samsung.

    Where are you buying from?

    Yes, it will be fine. For the sake of a few euro I would go for a Crucial or Samsung Evo SSD. Otherwise grand though. Case is a bit big, for a build like that you could easily use a very small mitx case that would slot away neatly.
