Mix's Mini-ITX build.

[007Mix]

Hello everyone.

I'm going to build an gaming machine inside the "Corsair 380T" case (I love that case )

Anyway I have made a build on pcpartpicker and I want to know what you think of the build, do I need to change anything or something like that.

I'm also pretty unsure about the power supply, is it good enough or what

Anyway here is the build

FYI H100i won't fit ; I know from personal experience

Might want to consider a water cooler thats only 120mm, or just air cooling in a mitx.

[007Mix]

Okay what water cooler would you two recommend?

And is 500W enough or?

Corsair lists the H100i as compatible. What was the issue you ran into?

 

@007Mix,

 

The CX-500M is an ok psu. SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze or Antec HCG-520M would be better IMO.

 

Mushkin Blackline 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory and PNY XLR8 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory are both good quality lower cost memory kits with slightly better timings than the Kingston kit.

Hey 007Mix,

 

The build looks good. I would call Corsair's support and ask specifically about the H100i.

Also, I don't think you need 16GB of memory for a gaming build. 2x4GB would be enough.

The PSU is enough, but I would go with something more powerful since you have some pretty strong parts there and you are going to overclock the CPU. I would switch to something like a 600W gold-certified PSU just to be on the safe side and have more space for overclocking and future upgrades.

Like @Captain_WD said consider a more wattage and better rated PSU as you have more headroom that way you have to remember that a PSU doesn't run always on that 500W.
