Building second, mobile PC

[Dewst3r]

I have been kind of wanting to build an ITX computer now that there is a cheap CPU (overclockable pentium) that can stay up to speed in games. I have spare parts that can help shave the price down as well. I made a Pc Part Picker build for it with the link: http://pcpartpicker.com/b/pmm8TW . I already have the hard drive, ram, and graphics card (unless I should get something better). I have an Asus itx motherboard that is z97. I chose z97 because it is overclockable and will support the upcoming Broadwell CPU's. I put in an M.2 ssd for less clutter and I didn't choose a high end one because I'm not going to be shoving tons of stuff onto it and will only house my main programs and startup. Back to the motherboard, it is EXPENSIVE. That is the cheapest z97 Itx motherboard Asus has! It is kind of insane since that is the most expensive piece of the build. It has wireless AC that I will be putting to use since it'll be pretty mobile. The PSU has a gold certification and it partially modular, which I like. If I chose to get a different graphics card, I will be sure to check that the power supply will be able to have sufficient 8/6 pins connectors. I chose the Bitfenix prodigy because I like the looks of it and will have plenty of space for all of my stuff. I was deciding between the Corsair 250d and the Bitfenix prodigy. I'll check them out more and figure out what I think I want. I am completely open to criticism and suggestions. Feel free to saying anything productive to the thread. Thanks guys!

I've been wanting to do this for a while now too! I was going to use that same case, and that graphics card should be fine for just LAN parties. It might not be able to play on ultra settings but it will be able to play mid - high @ 1080p.

Don't expect to be doing much with that GPU, you'd be better off with a 750 ti or higher.

 

other than that it looks pretty good!

 

I plan to build a 2nd mobile rig some time in the future too, though the only thing then is the monitor that isn't very portable unless you do what I plan to do and take a screen from my old dead laptop and get a controller board for it, then find a way to mount it to the side panel

Would be smart to get a better GPU though, a lot of GPU brands have som nice deals where you get the new Assassins screed or far cry 4 for buying a 750 ti. For the rest it looks fine I wanna do the same with an 3258 and a 7850 I have lying here still and use it to learn overclocking and just for playing at friends or when someone comes over.

Yeah I think I'll try to get a geforce gtx 750 ti instead of that 650....The 650 I have still has the plastic around the box so ill try to sell it and get some money for the 750 ti
