Oh I am as well, but going with the seasonic one put me $2 over budget. That PSU is still pretty good.

In a build challenge I believe that the most you should go over is .99. If it says $1000, it had better start with $1000.xx.

980 TI or bust

[Herman Mcpootis]

feel like that 6400t was too underpowered for the rig. will have to go with mr google's build, it has a weaker gpu but a much more balanced build.

It's a 2.8GHz i5 from Skylake - the T means it's a lower-TDP chip aka higher binned for mITX systems

Source 210 is actually a good case. The hyper 212 is entirely unnecessary for a locked CPU, tbh. But still, don had a better build overall. I honestly think that the 212 should be removed and the CPU should be bumped up to a 6500, although the 6400t is very capable.

 

It's not a question, @don_svetlio won between those 2.
