My 5 year old cousin is hell bent on consoles. I want to build him one for his birthday based on NVIDIA Tegra X1 but I have a problem. Where can I buy a Tegra X1 and a mobo that supports it?

You wouldn't want a mobile processor in a desktop build. What is your budget.

As far as I know you can't buy a Tegra X1 on it's own. Maybe you should get him a Nvidia Shield portable.

I once had one of these, now I've got this.

I'm trying to establish that by finding out how much it costs. It's not a desktop build I'm going for something like a shield or Ouya but I want to know how it works to upgrade it

You can't build, Nvidia won't sell it to you only OEMs. So your only option is to get a Shield device.

Would a TK1 work? I found a kit on amazon

Nvidia made a dev kit that used it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813190005

It costs 200 USD and can't play games. It comes with ubuntu preinstalled and i wouldn't recommend it unless you need a system for devolpement/programming for that chip.

You also must realize this is a ARM based cpu and that is can't run steam, or most games and can only run linux. Build a normal pc.

You also can't upgrade this board as it only uses soldered on ram and has no onboard sata controller. A xbox 360 would be a cheaper and better way to play games(probally faster)

I don't think that's fot gaming, that's for programmer's.

A Desktop will eat a Mobile system for brekky... want it small, use Mini-ITX

 

 

You'd be better off with an M-ITX sized case, and M-ITX sized parts.

Gaming rig

I'd go with a decent MITX H97 board, and an i5 4590/4690 + ITX/Whatever length will fit type of GPU (GTX 750Ti/GTX-960/GTX-970-ITX)

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

Why an i5 instead of an i3?

Why an i5 instead of an i3?

Just to make SURE that all games will play nicer overall,..lightweight games that only really use 1-2 cores, fine on i3/i5,...pretty much all CPU related frame drops are removed from 'Proper' multi-core games with an i5, where the i3 could inhibit stutter and framedrops on heavyweight CPU taxing type scenarios (however random it happens in game at any given time).

 

Just the best bet for longest term usage (you would not need to upgrade further with an i5 pretty much, esp for typical gaming usage) your next CPU would be for the NEXT system you build in years to come.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz
