mITX gaming PC

[Pinoy04]

Hello Everyone! :3

 

I am currently in the process of building a mITX gaming PC. I have the 2010 phenom processor which at the time was the best..but now I am going for Intel processor, not going for the OC like I did before.

 

well here is the list and tell me what do you think and I am on a budget of 900$ for now I will use the on-board HDMI.

 

Mobo: Gigabyte Z87N

CPU: Intel 4570

Mem: Corsair Vengeance Pro Black 8GB (2x4GB)

SSD: SanDisk 240GB SATA3

Cooling: Corsair H100I

PSU: EVGA Supernova 750W Modular PSU

Case: Bitfenix Prodigy

 

Total: $863.93

 

I have some extra Sata Hard Drives on my current PC that I can salvage to use on this build. 

 

Will later on buy a dedicated GPU.

 

Hope you guys can help out  

Thanks

Psu is quite a bit overkill.

First off get a smaller PSU, something like the Seasonic G 550 will be fine.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by 'not going for the OC like I did befor'. If you aren't overclocking then get an ASrock H87M-ITX. If you are then you will need to get the 4670k.

Get a 550-600W PSU and a H87N motherboard since you are not going to overclock.

[Samdb]

Don't buy a Z87 motherboard if you aren't going to overclock.

I would go for something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1wrbW can fit a 7990 and I would buy the hole PC when you can afford the GPU

As everyone said, get a good 500-550w PSU, a non-overclocking oriented motherboard and drop the h100i, why add the extra noise if you won't overclock?

Non-blowerstyle cards are a somewhat bad idea in such small cases with little ventilation ...

It might be over kill on the PSU but never hurts to add a little more power for the upgraded gfx card.

1. The PSU is massive overkill

2. Z87 is unnecessary for non-K processor.

What I the purpose of your upgrade

Outdated hardware, over kill for what I do now. Just need to keep up to date on the tech. thought I should build one after years

How they will be able to keep it more cool, the blower-style cards will have to work harder which will make them louder and will run hotter?

With a blower style card the hot air from the gpu is blown out of the case > no extra case ventilation for the gpu needed.

With a non-blower style card the hot air from the gpu is blown into the case > extra case ventilation for the gpu needed.

This is my suggestion for your build
