Sick Micro ATX Build

[SteinerW]

I'm a huge fan of Micro ATX builds. I've planned a kick ass Micro ATX build.

 

The parts I'm using for the build are:

 

CPU: i7-4790K. Not getting a skylake, I don't want to buy new RAM,

Motherboard: Gigabite Z97MX Gaming 5, (Already Have)

RAM: G-Skill 4x4Gb 1866 MHz, (Already Have)

GPUs: x2 Asus R9 Nanos,

PSU: EVGA 650GQ, (Already Have)

Case: FD Arc Mini R2, (Already Have)

Drives: x2 WD Green 3Tb HDDs, x2 Samsung 850 Evo 120Gb SSDs in RAID, (Already Have)

Cooling: EK Predator 360, (Already Have, but need GPU blocks)

 

I plan to get some sort of 1440p freesync monitor, but I'm not sure what I'm going to get.

 

I'm going to run my system in it's current config until I get at least 1 Nano and a water block to go with it.

 

My current config is:

 

CPU: Used i5-4690K,

Motherboard: Used ASRock Z97M Pro4,

RAM is the same,

GPU: R9 290,

PSU is the same,

Some old HP case from 2005,

Drives are the same,

Everything is air cooled.

 

When I finish my upgrade, I'm going to use my i5 and 290 for a folding computer.

 

I plan to update the build log when I get the i7, a Nano, and watercooling parts in a few months.

You might want an 850w PSU.

maybe the define nano S is something for you

Two nanos will be pushing 650W.... I'd go 750W just to play it safe.

Really? They only have a 175 watt TDP. 350 watts with maybe 100 for the CPU, that gives almost 200 watts for the rest of the system.

TDP != Power consumption. TDP is a measure of heat the component puts out, as indicated by what it stands for, Thermal Design Power. The cards would pull 275~ W themselves (unless I'm severely under/overestimating.... @Dan Castellaneta you're good with this?).

That's ITX mate, only support for one of the GPU's he wants to use.

 

Looks like a nice system.

Ohhhh. I didn't know that. I guess I'll look into getting a 750-800 watt PSU before I buy a second nano. Thanks for clarifying for me. Now I know.

whoops sorry
