Mini ITX Build

[Zaven_2110]

I have been looking for good deals on parts for a mini itx build since my current PC has stopped working all together.

 

Im interested in gaming at 1080p medium to high settings at 40-60+ fps and from what i can see this should do it.

 

Intel i7-4790 3.60GHz stock cooler

MSI GEForce GTX 770 OC 2GB

Intel 530 120GB High Perfomance SSD

8GB Kingston 2 x 4GB  RAM (11-11-11 timing)

MSI B85I Gen 4 LGA1150 Mini ITX motherboard

Antec ISK600 Mini ITX Case

Antec Earthwatts EA-550 Platinum low noise PSU

Windows 8.1

Now before anyone says "you should get X because its the same price" these parts are on offer for £550 all together so all i want to know is will this do what i want it to do?

 

*edit* i have hard drives i can use

There are better builds but damn that sale price I would buy that system instantly, But I do recommend getting a better cpu cooler the rest is fine. Although you might need to perform a bios update first to support your cpu so you might want to look for the i5 4670

it will do it, although if you could get an r9 290 or 970 instead fof 770.. but that should do it.

 

btw, I have an FX 8320 and HD 7770, I am playing BF4 in medium at 1080p around 40-60FPS, yours is much stronger than mine

If you can get a 770 it's a nice card and runs much cooler than  290 you want a cool card in an itx case

I know the case supports the Coolermaster Seidon 120V so i will get that with the money i saved!

for £550 go for it. Mine cost that and its worse that that

290 is as powerful as a 780, and if he gets good airflow it should be fine (there are some mITX here with r9 290)

 

Do not get me wrong, it is not like GTX 770, that is a GTX 680 suddenly became weak. it is still a good card

about the bios thing, the motherboard and cpu come together so should they not work together without upgrading bios?

No it's not, And in an itx case you can' t get perfect airflow.

Then it should work fine but you can always ask them.

if i need to i will run it with no side panel and maybe if possible do some case modding to add some fans to the side.

Why do you want to do that just deal with it that a gtx 770 is better than a 290 in this build.

Check out my mini ITX build Chibi PC for some ideas. I think it turned out really well. There's also a couple upgrades headed it's way.
