Smallest PSU?

[Trionth]

I'm building a mini ITX gaming rig in to a fat 50 ammo can. As such, space is very much an issue so I'm trying to find a good PSU (preferably modular) that will take as little space as possible. Do you have any suggestions? Here is what my build will be at max: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/r737zy

 

Likely I will end up putting in an i5 to save some money.

A little quick search showed up with it. Silverstone is actually a very respectable company. And what exactly is the purpose on getting a 6700K + a 950? Unless your not gaming, then yeah a 6600K + a 960 would be a lot better.

Your matching a 950 to a 6700k??

 

Dear god why...

 

Anyway, just search for SFF psu... The EVGA Hadron comes withga very slim design..

I have an extra 950 sitting around, I will replace it with a better GPU when I have the money. Likely will have an i5 to start with too. Still havent decided what my end goal GPU will be, any suggestions?

What about an e5 2670 (I know I've been spouting about these all day)

 

it's a bit old platform BUT 8 core 16 thread for $70 plus a board for less than your paying for cpu / motherboard (possibly)

 

So long as you don't need NVME or ddr4 or whatever xyz feature from z170 it could be a monster chip on a tight budget.

Wow, hadn't even looked at that. I am really building this just to see it done nice then planning on selling, so I was trying to put the newest in it. I might get one of those chips to replace the old i7-2600k cpu I'm using now haha.
