On my phone so I won't dig around PCPartPicker for slightly better prices and whatnot. Honestly now that I'm reading the part list, I see no problems with it for the purposes you stated (otherwise, for a primarily gaming pc, I'd just tell you to drop down to an i5 and 8gb). I initially raised an eyebrow at the hyper 212 in a Micro atx build, but it will indeed fit in that fractal design case. Seems like you did your homework.
I'm sure you understand the slight premium you pay for small form factor, and the inherent limitations as far as airflow/overclocking, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with it.

Thanks, yeah I priced out with the standard it and 8gbs of ram and a 120gb ssd, but it was only about $230ish more for this build. My first criteria was smaller and simple looking. I don't plan on overclocking to begin with but I wanted that option. I don't want to waste money but the price isn't my biggest concern.
Peolpe seem to refer to you as the pc build God so thanks for looking over it

That was my only question, ILike - was whether or not he was overclocking - I might have steered him to a non-K, but other than that - it looks like an overengineered, but appropriate solution, with a premium for that engineering.
As to the person who suggested one could buy one for the price - probably missed the entire point of building. I only, ever saved money when Dell used to sell those "servers" in mid-tower configuration and it was the best P4 solution on a cost basis (~10 years ago). The other builds have been to get exactly, precisely what I want - nothing more, nothing less.
