Hey guys,

 

I'm looking for advice on what parts and case i should use for a compact gaming PC.

 

I am NOT planning on playing high-end demanding games, i only plan to use this pc to play CSGO.

I would like the pc to be very compact and to run CSGO on highest settings with minimum 120FPS.

 

I know CSGO is not a very demanding game, so i need your help on making a partslist that is not completely overkill!

 

Thanks alot guys,

Btw this is my first post on this forum!

 

Country: Belgium

Budget: 500euro (more if really needed)

You need to consider the fact that overclocking has more to do with the motherboard, power, and heat output, than just the chip. You put in a cheap h81 motherboard, and no aftermarket cooler.

that "cheap h81m board"  can easily hit the pentium at 4.2 GHZ proof http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2389948

the pentium g3258 can go to 4.4 Ghz on the stock cooler.

 

please google before posting.

You need to consider the fact that you did no research on the chip, power reqs, heat output, or motherboard! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Little bit more expensive than the others, but I think it's worth it for the 4 threads on the i3. I went with an SSD cause I'm assuming you're not going to have a whole lot on this, it looks like a LAN rig, but you could swap it for a WD Blue 1TB if you wanted.
