Build Help Would Be Appreciated

[Semih97]

This Is My First PC Gaming Build, & i have done some research & have put this build together. My Budget At Approx £800. I Like the idea of overclocking in future if possible.

My Parts List is on PcPartPicker Link Below. Thanks!

I'd go with at least a 600w PSU

[JulianT]

I'd think about getting an ATX Case. It'll be way more future proof. Also You'll be able to add better graphics cards and more storage later on. As well as better airflow. Again, if anyone thinks I may be wrong, please correct me!

Ahh Brilliant,. & Okay ill find a 600W.  are there any other recommendations? i don't understand Bottlenecks if anyone can spot any?

& thanks 'JulianT' But i fancied the idea of a small, Portable Box Out The Way.

[JulianT]

it's your decision but i'd still look for an atx case, corsair have some nice "boxes" you could use

1. you need a better cpu cooling solution

psu needs to be bigger

That psu is not very good.

 

The H440 is a nice case, but I wouldn't call it portable.

 

You want a Z97 board for Overclocking. You can overclock on some B85 boards but they are not really designed for it.

The Coolermaster Hyper Evo 212 is a better choice for the cooler if you want a budget option. The Bitfenix Prodigy can take a cooler up to 175mm according to their website. 

 

The 550W psu should be enough for a single card even with an overclock. If you want a bit of extra headroom then go with the 650W version of the EVGA GS.

i went away from the whole "portable" scene. Also, thanks for the advice with the motherboard.

Have you considered an SSD?

That power supply is still pretty pants. The EVGA GS 650W seems to be out of stock everywhere for some reason.

 

The Bitfenix Prodigy needs a 160mm or smaller psu according to their website. I would suggest something like an Antec High Current Gamer 620W as that is bang on 160mm long.

Ok, I've Added That Power Supply Now. Final Question, Do You Know If I Can Fit A 'Corsair H80' Or 'Corsair H100' instead Of A CPU fan & if this is Even effective?

I came across this review of the Bitfenix case and the reviewer seems to suggest that even a 160mm psu is a struggle to fit. If you read the third paragraph He mentions it.

Have you looked at the Phanteks Evolv ITX as an alternative ? There is a windowed version and non windowed version.

As for the cooler, a H80 and H100i would both fit in the Prodigy and the Evolv.

What about this? The case is the same size just so you know but it can fit a bigger motherboard. Also, 120mm AIO.
