Console pc

[hajsveen]

Im gonna build a small computer that i can use as a console. (With xbox360 controllers) 

I picked prosessor and gpu but the rest of the parts is hard to choose.

•CPU: AMD FM2 Athlon X4 750k Black Edition FM2, Quad Core, 3.4Ghz

•GPU: GIGABYTE R7 260X 2GB

Some help?

I think i want 8gb of ram and 2tb harddrive storage. Also a bluray reader and writer.

And i want to try putting all this in a very small case, playstation size.

Any recomendations?

Dont use the 750K, use the G3258

What's your budget?

[ImBleu]

Case: You have to go for the Silverstone Raven RVZ01 (something like that)

 

As for the Storage / ram, just get 8GB (you won't need much more) and a 1 or 2TB HDD.

What is your budget?

If you have a decent or massive budget,then go for an i5-4690k and GTX 750Ti

Budget? Location?

CPU a bit overkill IMO

But i want a quad core. And i dont want it expensive either

[soaringchicken]

Bitfenix pandora is pretty small, also Lian-Li has a pretty small console-like case to I think, however my recommendation would be the Corsair 240 (I'm a Corsair fanboy). As for RAM a kingston 1600mhz kit is fine, ram doesnt really effect performance. And a WD Blue is usually my main recommendation for hdds. And I bet theres an external bluray reader/writer that would suit your needs

I agree to an extent, but if overclocking isn't your thing, then go with a 760k. Also, motherboards for the G3258 are more expensive.

this

and either way with such a small system like the op is wanting, you wouldnt really want much oc'ing in order to keep temps low.

OK, where are you ordering parts from? What's the budget in Norway currency?

Any mATX/ATX Motherboard (Asus/MSI/Gigabyte are the best IMHO)

Corsair Air 540 (IMO I'm gonna get the 240 one but you included a Blu Ray Drive)

WD Red 2TB

Crucial MX100 256GB SSD

Cooler Master V750 Semi-Modular PSU

8GB Kingston Hyper X Blu

Ordering from a Norwegian shop, i have to choose between komplett.no or supersmart.no (i depends on the price)

 

And i think 1 dollar is between 5 or 6 Norvegian NOK

Well, I'm guessing you're gonna make it mini-ITX (so that way you can have console form factor). For a case, I found this one and it looks pretty nice, but the case is really your choice: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sharkoon-CA-I-Mini-ITX-Case/dp/B00MLU62YU/ref=sr_1_125?ie=UTF8&qid=1420283775&sr=8-125&keywords=mini-itx £48.72

I found this motherboard for you, it's cheap,mini-ITX,FM2, has PCIE, currently on offer and reviews are good http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-A88XI-AC-Mini-ITX-Motherboard-USB3-0/dp/B00IXWVYE8/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1420284874&sr=1-1&keywords=FM2£65.64

For RAM you can use some HyperX RAM which is very reputable (Linus uses these in almost all of his builds) and they're currently on offerhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-Series-1866MHz-Memory-Module/dp/B00J8E91H2/ref=sr_1_11?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1420285755&sr=1-11&keywords=8GB+HyperX £56.98

For storage you can go with a 1TB Hard Drive from WD: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-WD1002FBYS-internal-SATA-300/dp/B002CPV2WG/ref=sr_1_73?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1420285980&sr=1-73&keywords=2TB£40.00
And then get an SSD for a boot drive: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-MZ-7TE500BW-500GB-840EVO-SATA6/dp/B00JABE74K/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1420286145&sr=1-3&keywords=SSD You can put two of these in there to total 2TB if you want with the case I recommended (as it has 1 3.5 Inch bay, and 2 2.5 Inch bays), but it will be considerably more expensive £196.50

Total: (with one SSD to total 1.5TB) £407.84 or 4,753.014 NOK or $625.117
Total: (with two SSDs to total 2TB) £604.34 or 7,043.047 NOK or $926.302

 

The PSU is up to you though
