ITX Gaming Machine Planning

[Stephen]

When I first was considering this build, (mind you, that was a while ago) I was wanting to make it in the Bitfenix prodigy because it used to be the only stylish case that could accommodate everything I wanted in it (not realizing at the time how massive it is for an itx case). Now fast forward a couple years, and all of that has changed. New m-itx cases are coming all the time. Now, I have planned this to be my new m-itx machine, the one I have waited to build for so long. I was just wondering if there was anything I change before I make this without to much of a price change. I also wanted to hear any other's thoughts on the Hadron Air and what they think of it. After seeing most reviewers' gripes I believe they are fairly easy to overlook.

 

The Specs:

EVGA Hadron Air (Integrated PSU) - $150

Intel Core 15 4670k - $190

Gigabyte Z87 WIFI - $130

8gb Kingston HyperX Red 1600mhz (Salvaged from old build)

Corsair Force SSD 120gb (Salvaged from old build)

Seagate 2tb 7600rpm HDD (Salvaged from old)

MSI Twin Frozr GTX 660 (Salvaged going to save up later for GTX 770 4gb)

EVGA 92mm CPU Cooler - $40

 

Total Cost - $510

i would say just get a r9 290 if you want 4gb lol. gtx 770 with 4gb is pricey. but if you live in US so go for that card tho.
