950 won't fit. Needs to be half height, low profile. Believe me, I'd love to 950 it up.

Well then the build you outlined is fine then.

Short and sweet because I'm on my phone: my build is below. Using an old HP case. Not really looking for critique, but open to any ideas you're dying to share. PSU is Flex ATX, and the only one I could find that wasn't scary was the Seasonic listed here. Is this enough power in your estimation, or should I be looking at an A10 build instead? GPU says 400W minimum, but there's no way it really needs anywhere near that...

 

(Sorry for not using BBCode. Doesn't want to work on my phone.)

Edit: should have mentioned that the HP case is from a Slimline s3200n. Tiny little ITX thing that isn't wide enough for a full card or compatible with a riser. I knew the risks when I bought the $25 PC ;)

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

I had a shitty HP PSU and a 750Ti, it was fine but upgrade if it is some shitty HP, it'll be fine just don't o'clock.

Case is way, waaaaay too tiny for any of this. You think I'd be using a Flex ATX if I didn't have to? lol

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

No worries, my fault for not mentioning it. I'm feeling pretty good about what I've got there given the cost and limitations of the case (95mm wide, no. fans.). More concerned about the PSU wattage. It's a Seasonic, so quality didn't worry me.

I've already got the case. Bought a cool looking old HP Slimline yesterday for it.
