$750 M-ITX Build help!

[megadarkwood]

Hey guys I am planning my future build and want to make it an MITX build.

I live in Canada so I prefer everything for be from newegg.ca or Tigerdirect.ca, and ekwb for Watercooling.

I want to watercool.

My budget is $750 but I can bumb up to $1000.

 

I would like a custom loop and want the case to be a bitfenix prodigy.

A cherry mx Blue Keyboard would be nice but not needed in the $750

 

No monitor

No mouse

No Speakers

.etc

 

 

EDIT: I have the RAM, don't worry about that, and also, AM3+ would be preferred but I don't know if there are any MITX AM3+ Mobos.

(I know that I posted another build a few days ago but I have changed my mind)

Custom loop for that budget, forget it. It quickly adds up. What you can do is start basic with an air cooler, then save some money for the custom loop. Just make sure you'll save some room in the case for it, but it should be fine, it's been done many times before.

Would it be possible to add an external radiator to a h100i?

What I'd recommend in your position is buy a cheap aircooler while you save up for your custom loop. Custom loops with a CPU and GPU block can easily cost 300$ + most mini ITX don't have windows anyways so there's nothing to show off. You're best off getting the best hardware now and then  you can add the other things later.

I was going to mod a window into the case. forgot to add that to the OP

So is 750USD the budget for the WC only ?

No such thing as AM3 ITX. If you want to do a loop, your only options are to buy a kit from someone like XSPC or use a T-line to cut costs. You will only be able to WC your CPU, this would bring your total build budget down to 850 assuming 1k.

+ you have to go for Intel, there aren't any AM3+ mini-ITX motherboard.

EDIT : Beaten to it

Bitfenix does sell windows for the prodigy

Buy a H220 and expand it when you have more money , also wait fr the new 9XXX series.

I am going to put a larger window into the right side to see more or everything.

What is there to see? The right side is dominated by the graphics card and nothing else can really be seen.

The GPU is on the left side, the right side is the one with the front OI

Oh ok I'm thinking from the rear of the case.

You could go an APU build, they are m itx.

Watercooled APU. 

Haha, that's be fun.

It'd be pretty unique.
