[Mr.Leon]

I`ve been thinking about this build for a while and i got all hot and sweaty and i rushed and bought the case already. so i`m dedicated to that, can alone tell me what they think of this build? its suppose to be a decently powerful MIni ITX gaming rig. My budget is about $1050 USD.

You need a Z97 board in order to overclock.

Few things I'd do. Get a WD Caviar blue HDD. It will be more reliable then that Hitachi.

For the PSU corsair is meh. Go for a few companies. SeaSonic, SuperFlower, And EVGA.

For EVGA don't just pick any PSU. Almost all the big names like corsair, EVGA, ect U.S. Refreshes from companies that make the actually PSU. A few good EVGAs ones are the GS Series by SeaSonic, and anything like B2, G2, T2, and P2 made by SuperFlower would be a little better. There are a few more.

Here an exact list. Usually anything by SuperFlower or SeaSonic is goos

didn't catch that thanks lol

@cheeze_tartz the z97 is god but would it fit in a MINI ITX case like the 110? as well as the price point would it be significantly more? 

 

@DarkBlade2117 thanks for the advice on the the HDD i was actually thinking bout a WD but i wasn't sure.
