Posted November 28, 2014 I've practically planned it all through, I mostly come here to get some constructive criticism, not as much to get complitely told how stupid I am, though that may or may not be necessary. this would be the build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JPKXFT The ram and the psu are not the ones there, they were not listed but are mostly the same and of a good brand. The case is more problematic even for this brand is new to me (and to pcpp it seems) : http://www.tacens.es/cajas/mini-torres/orum-ii/ It's in spanish, but most of the info I can get is from the 3 pictures :mellow: The idea is to make a small pc to be used for some gaming (nothing special surely) and daily work hence the gtx 750ti. The one who "ordered" this build (uncle) is not short in cash so he's fine with almost anything but I wouldn't want to go stupidly overkill. So, the questions here are: is this not going to work for some reason? is this too much? will it suffocate in the small case? and anything I may not have considered. I plan on getting an 80mm noctua fan for the case so it gets some good air in. Be nice, community and thanks!
