SFF PC for average Gaming

[Harkulles]

Hi,

I am thinking about building a system for my sister, so that she can play some Sims4 and Slime Rancher on it.

What do u think about this? :https://www.mindfactory.de/shopping_cart.php/basket_action/load_basket_extern/id/91cfc9221734fbcab56f64a1e177d6c5828c839c6071802418f

 

On which parts can i save some money?

If u have other SFF "gaming" pcs under 300€ i will be glad if u share them with me

(I live in Germany)

Yeah, that would definitely suffice. I'd throw another few memeless euros for a larger SSD. 120 gigs is just super limiting, especially for someone less tech savvy than ourselves

I will add this: My 120GB (SSD) OS drive. Only installed Windows 10, K-lite codec pack and a Chromium browser. This is whats left after annoying update after update.
Just get a cheapo mechanical drive in there too.

We've come to a point where it's better to get an SSD than hdd. 500GB for 40$? Want.

Sorry, I stand corrected. 59 usd or 65€.

But this is super worth it.

Isnt that a 240GB one?
But i recently bought a 2TB (higher speed) mechanical drive for about 60bucks. And need a new SSD, so yeah for that price i was curious. hehehe.

But SSF stands for super smalfactor, right? Then is there maybe room for a 2,5' drive? Or just an M2?

[HanZie82]

I checked, and seems like there might be spot for 2 2,5 inch drives.

(on the right, the 2 black plates)

Also on the bottom right looks like 2 3,5 inch HDD bays. And on the bottom left 2 5.25inch bays which easily can be converted to HDD space.

But back on track for getting the price down.
The only thing i can think of is the case, getting a cheaper one. But this one is so nice, to be honest.
