$800 ITX build

[jtai117]

Hi guys,

I'm going to be helping my friend build a pc soon. Here are some of the requirements and stuff:

1. We are located in Australia (staticice.com.au is my best friend lol)

2. He will be mainly using the build for WoW and Diablo 3

3. He already has a monitor, keyboard and mouse and he also has some 3.5" HDD's that he can use so you don't need to include that. He would like an SSD though

4. The board kinda needs AC wireless because he can't run cables around the house

5. He would like to use the Coolermaster Elite 110 as his case. If you find a case that's of a similar size, then by all means, feel free to use that too.

 

Here are a couple of builds that I came up with.

The first one is an i5 4460 and a GTX 750ti

The second build is a Pentium G3258 with a GTX 760

 

Thanks all

I would take the G3258/760 build personally, it will game better no doubt.

Really? There's no space for an aftermarket cooler, so I'd be using the stock cooler. That's still fine yeah?

You can still do some decent OC on a stock cooler. At least 4.2GHz for most chips, which will almost completely offset the bottleneck from stock.

Ahh ok. Thanks man. What do you reckon the performance would be if we took the pentium and the 750ti?

Near the same as if you took the i5 and 750Ti. You would be running WoW maxed out at 1080p and Diablo 3 at around 85-90FPS on High.

There's always low profile coolers

Try getting a Raijintek Pallas if you can spend some more bucks

I dunno if that would fit in the budget sadly.

Raijintek isn't in Aus yet I think. If it is, it's incredibly hard to find. All the stores I know don't have any =/ thanks anyway
