Building a new computer, Need advice

[surproxygen]

Ive got about $1100 max that im capable of spending, not including peripherals. I'd like an SSD, hard drive, in an ITX form factor. I play league of legends and guild wars, but would probably play more intensive things if i had the ability (think modded skyrim/ mass effect). I have a build i was thinking of, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/FD66qs dont mind the incompatibilities, i'd sort those out. If you guys have any advice or suggestions, or would rather build me a whole new computer id be totally okay with that, as long as you can explain why so i learn something! I appreciate it! Thanks a bunch.

You could save some money by getting a lower watt PSU.

That's a solid build only thing I would change is to get a 600 watt corsair power supply

^ agreed. You wont need more than 600 watts for an mITX form factor. (Unless you're making something with a ton of drives)

Soo your CPU is a k-variant, meaning that it is overclockable (Aw yea) But your motherboard won't support this since it has an H81 chipset. (H chipsets are dedicated for non-k mainstream CPUs) You'll want to grab a Z87 chipset motherboard if you're gonna keep that 4670K.

 

Sooo if you aren't planning on overclocking, I'd say just get a normal 4670 with that H81 board. But what's the fun in that? :3

You have a K series processor with a non-overclockable motherboard...

i think its great, other an having a k cpu on a non overclocking board, as well as that weird red,gold,and orange color scheme, but to each their own.

It also doesn't even fit.  :mellow:

^ This is true. I have a prodigy myself and I absolutely recommend a PSU that is 160mm deep. This is the one I personally use on my main rig.

thanks guys! yeah i didnt spend a ton of time on it but thats a great point about the K processor on the non K board. This was mostly to see the price, none of the parts are really set in stone! i appreciate it all though: and yeah obviously the power supply is changing haha

No problem man! Just make sure you go slowly making sure everything will work together well and with the features that you want. That's one of the most fun parts of building, in my opinion.

Edit: My issue is since I never worked with an ITX case before, I don't know what will happen when you have to remove the drive cage(s) to fit the GPU. Will there be enough to store the HDD and SSD? Also, I think Inwin's a decent PSU maker, otherwise, go with something like Corsair or EVGA.

You don't need a gtx 770   to play it ultra settings.........

Got a 290 and a 500W 80+B PSU. The CPU can be overclocked on that board: http://www.asus.com/News/jLaOehAeS7oh3NYi
