ATX vs ITX Build

[mathmeister]

I have two builds, the ITX one has no SSD and a worse CPU but if they were the same and I had space limitations on my desk, is the ITX worth going for?

personally would go for the ATX, ITX is too limited in terms of upgrades and cooling.

ATX, but if You don't have the space, the ITX build seems very good also, of course it still needs a SSD

You dont need an aftermarket CPU cooler since you won't be overclocking. Stock is fine. The Evolv ITX has a crappy intake fan, so you would need to replace with dual 120 or 140mm (preferably 140mm) fans. Even better, get the Fractal Design Define Nano S like I have and you would only need to buy one more 140mm intake fan. I don't see why you cant get an SSD in your ITX build when your ATX build costs more. 240 - 256 GB SSDs can be had for about $80.

That was just a mistake, the specs will be the same.
