Hi everyone
Bit long winded but looking for some help.
Saving up for a house so I'm going to be living in my caravan, and in summer just off of solar power. As a result I want my gaming pc drawing no more than 120w when gaming so I'm not going to be able to have it as is. I'm going to have to make a low power gaming PC that runs off of 12v. It also will be on a pretty low budget so will I buy second hand when possible. Would like medium settings at 720p on games like Rise of the tomb raider and Far cry 4 (4 cores). Here's my idea so far
CPU - i5 2400 (undervolted by 0.09v)
CPU cooler - arctic passive cooler intel version
GPU - GTX 1050ti 120watt(currently have a gtx960 but 1050ti has lower power consumption with better performance).
Motherboard - cheapest H61 board maTX
PSU - 200w pico power supply (no AC to DC power waste)
Then 120gb SSD
And a cheap case
Interesting article here on i5 2400 undervolted. Just look at the graphs and see the i5 2400's performance. http://www.silentpcreview.com/intel-2100t-2400s
Let me know if you have any ideas, I currently have an i5 4690k but I'm worried it might be a bit power hungry. Also if I get the i5 2400 for £40 I'll be able to make a HTPC when I get a house.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Alex
