8gb 1600mhz Hyper x fury
r9-280x

Try this It's a little bit more, but with it you can get 290 (non x), which is a more powerful card

 

I also put a singe stick of 8Gb of RAM because that Mobo (and every other Mini ITX) has only 2 slots, and with it you can upgrade later

Btw, that 4670k is a placeholder for the new 4690k that when comes out should be the same price

[Guest]

No real need for a H105 especially for an i5 cpu. Also does the H105 fit as the radiator is wider than the H100i. I think something like a H60 would be fine.

 

Also that 290 will heat up like a Furnace   You want one with a non reference cooler.

here are my suggestions

 

Chasis: Bitfenix Prodigy (black)

CPU i5 4670K ( you dint have to get K series if you dont want to)

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12 (thts a minimum if you want to oc)

MoBo: Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI ( get the Z97 one if its out in your region)

RAM: get a single kingston/adata 8GB ram  then save up for a 2nd one

GPU: R9 270/270X if you can try to oc it

PSU: CORSAIR CX500M (500W) modular (easier to keep the wiring clean)

Fans: 1X 230mm fan for front 2X 120mm for top exhaust

it should already come with a back exhaust fan already

 

im using dual oced R9 270s on my gryphon board i got both oced to (1243ghz)

the 270s should be able to handle most game on high settings

and when you saved up enough for a R9290/290X the power supply should be able to handle the wattage

 

i chose the 230mm fan cos even at low speeds you should have enough air moving around

i didnt add a optical drive not sure if you want one

He already put a pretty high-end liquid cooler, so i guessed he'd OC it quite a bit... As for 290, i did choose one with a non reference cooler

I think he shouldn't go with something like 270/x (i'm not saying it's a bad card... It's actually extremely good when you're on the budget ), but he should go with something better, especially with a budget like that...

sorry I misread his budget yeah go for a 290 or 290X if you can

I was just saying that the H105 might not fit in the bitfenix case as it is thicker than a H100i. The radiator is 11mm thicker so it could present problems. I still think a H60 or a H80i would be more than enough.

 

The card you linked to was a reference model - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131544&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

 

A non reference model is like this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131569

Odd... I was pretty sure i put a non reference model

 

You're right that he probably couldn't fit h105 (and like i said, OP didn't say anything about how much will he OC, so it all depends on that, he only put a high-end cooler ), but i wouldn't know since i don't know anything about Mini ITX cases (i prefer ATX cases )

 

Well, if you factor it all, and want to keep to the 900$ limit, then this would be the best solution:

P.S. Again, i like the look of 770 And it's cheap to boot

[Guest]

I would go for 2 x 4GB Ram otherwise you won't get dual channel mode

That's what i thought, but after considering it and thinking "What would i do and buy?" I came to the conclusion that going with one 8Gb stick and another 8Gb stick later (Mobo only supports 2 slots), that would be more than enough (i'm also a tab monster )

[Guest]

To be honest if it was my build I would just go for the Bitfenix MATX case seeing as they both have the same footprint. That way you get more Ram slots

And if it was my build, i'd go with some mid tower ATX build I like ATX If i'm building a desktop, then i'm building it not to be moved, but to have strength (for moving i have my laptop )

 

And i'm just getting back into PC (been using laptops for too many years ) building, so i have a lot to learn

[Guest]

I was speaking through the eyes of the op   I agree though, you can't beat a good ATX or XL-ATX case, although the upcoming Corsair Air 240 MATX case looks very nice. It's big brother is on my wanted list 

[Joorj]

Thankyou guys, when is the broadwell 4690k will be released? thankyou guys. iwant a itx cause i wanted to put that on my small desk because my floors are all carpeted( sorry for my english)

if i will wait for a broadwell processor i can stretch it to 2x8gbs  

btw I dont want the design of a matx prodigy. cause PSU blows to the bottom which will come up because hot air goes up. also the Graphics card draw hot air because of its inverted design.
