Is this Mini itx build ok for 1100$ Cad

Go to solution Solved by asusfan,

Please Dont me a itx build "Will heat up fast" "No upgrade opportunitys" i am aware and i want a small console like gaming pc.

Hello i am new around here i watch his videos so im not a stranger

this is my build please let me know if this is good?

pretty ok, however expensive drive, i think if your going for one drive then a SSHD (hybrid drive) would be better and save a lot of money, its half the cost. and then you can put that money you saved into a fully modular PSU and even better graphics card.

the Asus Strix comes with 6gig of ddr5.

check out the Seagate SSHD and you can get a 1 TB drive in a 2.5" size drive.

looks good :) well if you want a better gpu you can look into the other brands. although some might be more expensive but hey this hobby of ours is never that cheap anyways.

ok let me explain i got the BitFenix Colossus for a high end with cool lighting.

Vengeance pro ram i know its expensive but i plan to make 1866 some Youtube Gameplays channel.

Z97 with a non k chip plan to get a k series later on with a h100i

please give your opinion as this is future proof (Linus i know you dont like that term) as i want it to last me

Is there a better GTX 970 available? EVGA really cheaped out this gen using 4 phase power vs 6.

i was reading some newegg reviews (Never going to buy from them but they get the most reviews out of most online retailers)

Half said it was quit and the other complained about heat and coil whine i will have a headset and my case will have good ventilation.

I know but in canada the gtx 970sc from evga is the best price and proformace. Pny has one but it the same price as the Superclocked one. And a blower style gpu is good for smallform factor
