Mini Gaming PC

[Krillin]

I am going to build a mini gaming pc and I wanted to get some feedback from the forum to see if the parts were good and balanced. I tried to choose the "Best Bang for Buck" method. here is a link to the build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1uZzM

Looks good, that CPU cooler might not fit in there though, maybe a Noctua L9a

maybe upgrade to a 8350? and with the prices of 7970's so low maybe snag one of those.

The PSU is overkill by about 250+w.

Overclocking a 8320 puts it on the same level as an overclocked 8350. Not much point in wasting the money imo.

I have seen someone fit a Noctua NH-D14 in the case. so I sure it will fit. but thanks for the reccommendation

why would you recommend a L9a ...? Do you even know that cooler?

Because it is low profile an a good cooler.

Does a 760G motherboard even work with 8300 series? That's one oooooooooold chipset

It's very low profile indeed - 37mm. The TJ-08e is rated for max 165mm high coolers though.

The L9a/i is for very slim cases.
