I used the i5 4460, but if you want to spend that extra do it for an i5 4690k

 I agree with this guy, although I would probably get the 500watt version of the PSU, but it doesn't really matter, also, be quiet PSUs are amazingly quiet.

 

You might also want to fit an SSD in there somewhere.

Deffinitely not radeon card because of overheating better Asus Strix GTX 750Ti

WHAT!? Are you fucking high?

As much as I love Nvidia (the GTX 750 Ti would be my first card to put in an mITX rig), the R9 280X would absolutely DESTROY the GTX 750 Ti in terms of performance.

If he's got ample airflow then overheating won't be an issue anyway.

Agreed with this guy... You can't compare a 750Ti to a friken 280X..

P.S. The 750Ti can't play 1080p GTA V at high FPS without sacrificing a lot.

Why the Z87? - He can't overclock that CPU and it needs a BIOS update

GTX 960 - it isn't great for the price point especially considering the R9 380 and R9 280x beats it at everything performance-wise

Corsair has bad PSUs and they are poorly priced for what they are

 

And this is US PcPartpicker so not everything is available there in the UK (Just remember to switch the Location settings ;) )

So you're comparing a budget card that's slower and has less VRAM to a really fast card for the price

A better comparison would be the 750ti and R9 270x
