Posted January 1, 2015 im just starting out on pc gaming so i will only have a couple of games.. later on down the road i will get a seagate hdd 120 gigs is barely enough for the os, basic programs, and a few games. Not to mention that's not a good ssd. Here, try this. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/42mcVn Woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 1, 2015 what about the hyper 212 . i dont think that would fit it's 159 cm, and the node 304 supports up to 169 cm. Close, but it works. Woo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 1, 2015 @CartertheCOCguy I would get a decent 1TB HDD and put windows and programs on that. A WD Blue drive would be fine Save your SSD space for games. 317 is watching. 317 is everywhere. 317 is life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 2, 2015 PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($179.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: ASRock H97M-ITX/AC Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard ($82.98 @ Newegg) Memory: Team Zeus Blue 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($59.99 @ Newegg) Video Card: Club 3D Radeon R9 270 2GB '14Series Video Card ($139.99 @ NCIX US) Case: Fractal Design Node 304 Mini ITX Tower Case ($49.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: EVGA 430W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply ($27.99 @ Micro Center) Total: $540.93 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2015-01-01 19:14 EST-0500 I'm assuming here you already bought a new HDD since using just a 120GB SSD isnt a good idea. Overall it's similar, but the CPU is way better and you spend your cash on the CPU rather than an aftermarket cooler or an SSD, neither of which actually help with in-game performance. Plus you get WiFi in this ITX build without having to use any external dongle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
