Mini-itx

[Red Harbinger]

Psu- EVGA supernova G2 750w

Memory- 16gb 1866 kingston Hyper x beast

Mobo- Asus ROG Maximus VI Impact

CPU- 4770K (probably liquid cooled with something like a corsair h60)

Case- Bitfenix prodigy

Storage- Samsung 840 Evo 500gb

GPU- Havent really decided right now im thinking of a R9 295x2 but 1500 is kind of pushing it for me, when i can get a 690 for like 600 on kijiji.

 

Anyways, just want to get some opinions on the specs and such, if i should change anything

What do you need your system for?

And why do you want to go for a dual gpu solution?

you could just get a gtx 780 ti and be happy.

[Freaky_spider]

690 for 600 is kinda a ripoff for a card that is already 2 years old... get a normal 780ti, seeing as the 690 has too little VRAM to be usable at anything above 1080p... 

 

guy above me beat me to it

You'll need the black prodigy with the mesh front and some good fans if you plan on running a dual-gpu card in there. Those things put out a ton of heat.

There is only one PCI-E slot on an ITX board so you can't SLI and I'm not sure how easy liquid cooling will be, especially in an ITX case.

you would need to remove the hard drive cages and mount the SSD on the back, but you would get room for a 240 up front, and a 240 on the roof.

 

Not sure if this is possible, but could you mount the reservoir on the outside of the case next to the IO panel, you would need to make 2 small holes for the inlet/outlet, but you would get more room in the case that way. Not sure the benefit is worth the effort though.

 

+1 for the 780ti though

 

Look at this guys build log: http://rog.asus.com/152712012/news/prodigy-projekt-a-watercooled-overclocked-mini-itx-lan-monster/

[Jaybird]

uhhh. I have a prodigy that is liquid cooled.       look           right         about         here

my two cents here, if you wanna do a dual GPU setup, get a Prodigy M. then use a MATX board. also for GPU, 780 or 780 Ti depending on your budget and preferred resolution. and how many monitors you plan to run. also is hte 1866Mhz RMA necessary? just saying, no need to overpay.

ram is left over from previous build

 

also why do so many people recommened the 780ti, the 690 preforms better than it and since its an itx i can only have 1 gpu

 

EDIT: However i completely overlooked the Vram on the 690 2gb per gpu is definatley not going to work seeing as i game on 3 monitors also this build is solely for gaming, i guess im stuck with the r9 295x2 unless someone can show me how a single gpu card would be a better solution, also i hope im not coming off as a douche, as i do want to hear peoples opinions

in very few instances

most of its better performance marks are due to its 512-bit bus. not to mention that its a dual GPU setup.

[TheProfosist]

use a m.2 SSD and save some space.

like i said, switch it to a MATX variant of the case. using MATX would give you room for dual 780 Ti's

Do you have any good cases you would recommend for a micro atx build?

Prodigy M

That is of course assuming you like the aesthetic of the prodigy
