My last thread got spammed to death, lets avoid that again please.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/R4WfjX

Can you guys tell me what you like/dislike about this build? I really like it, and I think it's pretty powerful for being a micro.

PS $800 isn't a big deal. I want to keep it at a reasonable price while having it powerful and small.

Just tell me if you guys find a better part in the list that could be replaced by something else and why. I want to understand why a part is better than another, not just that I didn't pick the best one.

Thanks

u get 10-15% more performance from going 2x4gb instead of 1x8b.
i dont like smart thermaltake psu, much better options for this price point.
such as this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371058&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

I was thinking of having single channel at first with the 8g savage, but I was guna eventually buy a second one. Now I'm thinking if 16g ram is really worth it
