Case: Jonsbo U2 (silver)
PSU: Silverstone ST45F-G
Motherboard: MSI Z87i
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport Very Low Profile 8GB
SSD: Samsung EVO 250GB
CPU: Intel Core i5-4570
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i
GPU: MSI GTX 760 Gaming ITX
Case Fan: Scythe GlideStream 120 PWM
Notes:
My first build in over 10 years, I had a lot to catch up on and figure out, of course.
As for the case itself, it's really solid and well-built, I was surprised by that. I expected it to be flimsy, but it's top notch if you ask me. Little rubbers here and there to stop vibration/scratches, case opens with 2 thumb screws. I'll post some pics if anyone wants them.
Cheers, thanks for reading and comments welcome.

- I originally was going to go with the Asrock z87e motherboard and the Silverstone 550 ATX modular PSU, however, the Asrock board was DOA, so I sent it back and ended up with the MSI motherboard and the Silverstone SFX psu. The SFX PSU also gives a bit more wiggle room being smaller and having shorter modular cables. Really surprised how small that thing is!
- My Intel stock fan made a horrid sound when I installed it, sounded like a remote control airplane flying around, so I swapped it out for the Noctua. Really nice unit and excellent packaging, and much quieter than the stock Intel.
- I have disabled my Scythe fan for now, as it sounded like a jet engine when I booted up and the BIOS limits it to 50% minimum speed. It's a 4-pin connected it to the motherboard sysfan connector, not sure what's up with that. I was going to go with the Corsair H80i cooler, but I returned it as it would be a major pain in the ass to install it in this case.
