Mini ITX Gaming PC Build

[Safinn]

Hell guys,

 

My current PC is within a HAF X case which is huge and I'm done with the size of it and now want to move to a very small PC. I'v got my eye on a build with the Corsair 250D. I would like the smallest gaming pc I could make that is also as quiet as possible.

 

What I don't need:

 

Hard Drives

OS

PSU (Currently have HX850, hope it fits in mini ITX case)

Peripherals (Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor)

GPU

 

Need:

 

Case

CPU

Motherboard

RAM

CPU Cooler

 

 

What do you suggest? 600 GPB Budget and I'm in the UK.

Thanks for the help.

I thought with an ITX build and not needing every part that you could not really go way overboard with budget but I'll say 600 GBP. I'm in the UK.

Maybe even Titan Z's.

I don't need a GPU...

[Geekazoid]

I don't need a GPU...

What GPU do you currently have?

[MrBucket101]

I love the bitfenix prodigy, so sleek looking

[Safinn]

What GPU do you currently have?

 

Asus 5870 V2

Asus 5870 V2

That one isn't any good... 

[Geekazoid]

That one isn't any good...

What makes you say that?

[Safinn]

What makes you say that?

 

Exactly my question...

[Geekazoid]

Asus 5870 V2

Is this it?

[Izaya Orihara]

What makes you say that?

It being slow.

 

Exactly my question...

[Safinn]

It being slow.

 

Runs the games I play in the quality I like and am happy with. Perfect.

If you're fine with it's fine i guess... huh.

That is the one!

Hmm...it looks pretty decent to me: http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop/5000/5870

Now if he had said the 5570 (http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop/5000/5570) then I would've agreed with you.

[Geekazoid]

Runs the games I play in the quality I like and am happy with. Perfect.

Then you don't need a new one then if you're happy with it . Not all of us have the money to spend on a GTX Titan Z or AMD R9 295X2 .

[Geekazoid]

That is the one!

Nice! Pretty aesthetically pleasing if I do say so myself.

The PSU is too long. It's 180mm and the Prodigy only takes up to 160mm.

Yes it may be old but it still does the job  very well.

It would fit in the Corsair 250d right?

Yes the 250D can take a PSU up to 200mm however aircooling in the 250D is really bad as the max cpu cooler could be 92mm. 

[Geekazoid]

I don't know about anyone, but if I were going for a Mini ITX build I would probably go with this case:

The Cubitek Mini Cube

Linus even did a video on it.

Thanks for the info!

Op said his PSU fits ITX cases so I didn't check... my bad! >o<
