Gaming/Content Creation/3D Animation Build

Redfern · November 20, 2015

Hi I am building a new PC and this is what I have come up with. I want it to be silent, small, cool, and portable as-well as being able to do all the above ^^. Thanks and I know SKYLAKE but there isn't a mini-itx board and there is a big price gap for only 10%-15% performance increase.

Thanks

How portable does it have to be? Laptop-like or like take from home take it to work and that's it?

Yeah portable enough to carry around and travel places also can't take up much space

According to the link it says that your cooler may not be compatible with your case. Unless you are going to mod I would suggest look for another case or cooler!

the mobo can't handle real overclock. you can change it for this one http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-maximusviiimpact

Change the case to one of these

They have an ATX version, so Skylake is still... kind of an option...?

I mean, I built an ATX system easily the size of the PC-TU100 out of cardboard. Not pretty but it does the job.

Would this http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/bitfenix-case-bfcprm300kkxskrp work?

Workload like yours would benefit from skylake and ddr4 quite a bit.

And also pcpartpicker says you'r cooler isn't compatible with the case.

EDIT: @KemoKa 's http://www.newegg.co...XA&gclsrc=aw.ds

seems like a good case too.

EDIT 2: 500 gb ssd would be a good investment.
