Mini-ITX Gaming build [Updated]

[TheZewa]

So after realizing the absolutely terrific difference between EUR and USD I suddenly could throw up more money at the pc!

 

So here's the list:  http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vBLZqs

 

Its around 1300 EUR or 1600 USD

 

So,just tell me what you think bout' it!

why not wait a month and get a mini-ITX 970? http://www.tomshardware.com/news/gigabyte-mini-itx-gtx970-oc,27915.html

If principal use of this pc will be gaming, I would switch i7 for a i5-4690k and gpu for a gtx 980. If not, It's great.

There are no reason to get an i7 for gaming, change it to i5 4690K

You live in the EU right? IF so : I've said this a million times. IF YOU ORDER YOUR PC FROM THE US YOU WILL BE CHARGED A BUTT TON OF TAXES. BUY IT IN THE EU IF YOU LIVE THERE.

GAWD.

Sometimes taxes are maybe worth paying for if the online shops in his country are horribly overpriced which is almost never so yeah you are right. If says which country he lives their are probably a lot of people who know good online shops.

Not all case manufacturers have stock or resellers here so that's a real nice piece of advice you have there. ( or not )

 

Caselabs is one big sign of that.

YES! just went on Amazon US to see how much a GPU might cost me. plus taxes, shipping and customs ~15% more.

highly unlikely. maybe applicable to one item, but surely not the whole PC.

If your importing from the US you'll need to:

 

1) Make sure you find out the correct international shipping costs for shipping to your country (I don't know if pcpartpicker.com automatically factors these in)

2) Find out if you have to pay any taxes

 

 

If your just gaming get the i5-4690k.

Get the MSI Z97I Gaming ac board as Z97 is the latest chipset. 

 

EDIT: I just realised that both those MSI boards are incompatible, you'll have clearance issues with that CPU cooler and graphics card because the CPU socket is too close to the PCIe slot. I recommend getting the Asus  Z97I-Plus instead.

Is that i5 decent if I just occasionally render something in sony vegas?

Okay,I checked 1 shop and with slight modding I could get around same build for 1300 EUR. Ordering from that shop will get easier!

Would stock cooler fit?Im probably not goint to oc the build so maybe stoc cooler will be ok?

Occasional rendering should be fine.

The stock cooler should fit.
