A mini powerhouse

[Bkomnimon]

This is my second build. The other full sized ATX AMD build almost completed by end this month.

 

I got to looking at things and thought of building a itx build which might be somewhat portable but also powerful. Take a look and let me know what think please?

The processor is kind a place holder I may be looking at a Devi'ls canyon i5. Ram, OS and such I already have why listed as such. It would be used for gaming but depending on power draw it might replace my FX 6300 desktop.

If you're using a placeholder, just use the G3258 for now.

 

Otherwise, I like it.

I sort of agree, but the 4570 is still great. Get it.

Well I mean in the i5 range is why I picked that one. Some people hound all i7 horse power but I don't think I would use the full power of an i7 anytime.
