Hey guys, looking to build a "strictly for gaming" Mini-ITX machine capable of pumping out the high fidelity frames at 1080p. I've thrown this build together, any ideas/suggestions? Not planning to overclock for improved thermals (Hence the "non-k" 4690,) please don't recommend an SSD, I'd rather have 1TB of slow storage than 120GB for the same price. Thanks for your input. :) (Budget is $700)

What? A Xeon and total cost is $826? Can't tell if you're trolling or not -_-

Try and fit in a ssd if you can manage, that is always a good thing other than that id suggest getting an r9 280x over the gtx 960 they are at the same price point and the 280x is better

Yes I can see it, but a xeon is not practical for gaming and the total cost is $826 when I specifically said $700

 

Fixed it.
