Hey guys,
So I've been working on my dual system build for a while now, and I'm deciding to take my current build and just throw it into a cheap small case I have and start brand new with my dual system build. Here are the parts I was thinking of buying. The Mini ITX system is going to be used for streaming/server hosting and the Micro ATX system is going to be used for gaming. I don't really have a budget, but I don't want to over spend on parts that don't give me the performance I'm looking for. I'm trying to get a good balance of style, performance and price. I really like the looks of all the parts I've selected here, and would like to keep the system as quiet as possible. Any recommendations would be great or any pointers on where I can improve. I'll probably be building this next month. Waiting on a few paychecks.
I've attached a photo of the current build in it. It's just a Mini ITX build currently, but it's Kaby Lake and I don't really care for the parts right now. I just want to start new with Coffee Lake. Plus it doesn't hurt to have another system.
Side note, in the back of the case I have a Power Splitter and the issues I'm currently running into is cable lengths... I have to plug up 24pin and 8pin cpu cables into the power splitter, then run 2, 24pin and 2 8pin cpu cables from that splitter to both systems. I'm not really sure what the best route is to take when it comes to making sure I have the right cables and the right lengths. If anyone could please help with that, that would be great!
