SG13 Build - Final check before buying parts

[Xehanort]

Hey guys,

 

This is my second PC build, just asking for people's opinions before I order the parts.

 

Budget is $1850~ New Zealand Dollars for the parts themselves (no OS needed), a backlit mechanical keyboard, and a 1080P IPS monitor. Using PriceSpy, an equivalent of PCPartPicker with more options.

 

Prerequisites: - Quiet (will be on 24/7 because it will double as a home server)

                       - Low power consumption (see above)

                       - Capable of playing "Triple A" titles at 1080P at medium to high settings

                       - Portable (need to move around the house sometimes). Silverstone SG13 is pretty much locked in.

                       - Large HDD for home server + SSD for boot and programs

 

Games I want to play are Metro: Last Light Redux, Far Cry 4 and GTA V. I will also use NDS, PS2 and GBA emulators a lot with resolutions turned up.

 

What I have at the moment:

 

http://pricespy.co.nz/list.php?l=165567&view=m - Comes to $1850 when shipping is considered.

 

 

Please give your opinions on what I should change, if anything. I will use PCPartPicker to check compatibility of parts but I'm using PriceSpy for pricing because it takes into account more online stores in NZ.

 

Thanks ^.^

Looks good, but for a slightly less tight fitting GPU use the Gigabyte GTX960 ITX or the Sapphire R9 380 ITX.

Why get a slower card if the Strix 960 will fit? On the SG13 there's ventilation right in front of the GPU, so it'll have air to breathe.

The R9 380 ITX is FASTER.

The R9 380 ITX is FASTER.

I was talking more about the ITX 960. The 380 is faster, nonetheless, the ITX variant isn't necessarily necessary.
