Hello,
I am thinking of making a new htpc or a small cube pc - mini itx or micro atx build and i could use all the help i can get.
I am thinking of using a g3258 pentium cpu. My problem is that mini itx mobos cost more than micro atx and i cant decide.
Well my budget is about 300-350 euros. The cpu cost 71 euros, an 8gb g.skill dual channel ram that i found is at 34 euros and an Adata 240 gb ssd 60 euros so my remaining budget is about 120- 170 euros. For a case i am thinking of an Lc 2008 Mb if i go micro atx which will cost me about 40 euros but not sure about that yet, it depends on the mobo.
If anyone knows and can suggest of a good value Mobo either mini Itx or micro atx, a good Psu i would say 300 - 400 watts, a good small case he could help me a lot!

Just suggest what you can think would be good near my budget. No gpu needed for the beginning i ll add it later so on board graphics Mobos mostly please.

Thank you in advance guys. 


PS. i ve only build mid tower cases so i don't know a lot about small factor cases and what to be careful in the dimensions.

Please quote people for them to respond :P

I'd say use that CPU with the RAM and such. Do you plan on adding a graphics card? Also, for the PSU, anything from XFX, Seasonic and Super Flower would be good.

What do you mean by quote ppl to respond cause i am new in LTT. 
I ll probably add later on a low range card like a gtx 750 ti or a r7 370 which is about 120 euros.
I ve seen an antec vp350p psu or a be quit pure power l8 350w, but i haven't checked them out if they are any good? @TheRandomness

Neither are really that good... they'd be fine for a system like the one you said without a graphics card but when you add one you'd need a better PSU. Anything from the manufacturers I said in the 400-600W range would be good enough for upgrade. By quote I mean the button that looks like an arrow pointing left. Also, welcome to the forums :D

Yeah i ll probably go for a seasonic or a superflower cause i prefer them, but 600w i think it is a little bit over kill. I mean with a gtx 750 ti this pc should be about 300-320 watts, it think a 400-450 watts psu would be more than enough. @TheRandomness

All of those fit your criteria but I don't know which are available in your country.
