Cheapest M-ITX Build

Artanis Matriarch · July 20, 2016

Could you please help me improve/modify my build. Im trying to build the cheapest M-ITX build for under 600$ CAD TOTAL. Preferably from ONE of the following merchants: Amazon,Ncix and Newegg.

http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/p8Yvnn this builds total cost as of 11:17pm, 2016-07-19 is just about $616.44 CAD from Amazon. I would use this to play LoL/CS:GO or the likes. I DONT need Storage as i have an extra one at home. I like to try and overclock too if possible

Ps:i like all your idea but i forgot to add the fact that this is a secondary pc which will NEVER see anu future proofing meaning no upgrades..its basically a throw away just to satisfy the pc builder inside me..and I only have 600$ PERIOD meaning it needs to include shipping taxes and other stuff

As close as I could get it to the budget whilst not impacting performance.

Please don't go for the dual core Pentium, dual cores for gaming is dead. Many games just refuse to open and many others experience hitching and frame rate problems due to the lack of cores. I beg you to go for the I3 with the hyper threading.

I managed to get a 4G RX 480 in there as that will smash anything for even close to that price, A GTX 960 is a waste of money atm (trust me I have one) 970 is still to expensive, which leaves you with the 950, (which is alittle under powered for the price) and a RX 480 and GTX 1060 the 1060 is a good card but just a little outside your price range also you will be bottlenecking already with the 480 at a lower cost no need to throw away more money. If you could save a little more up and get a used I5 (like a 4790K)... But with that $600ish budget you are basically stuck with the I3.

It's not worth oc'ing a g3258 when you can just go for a current gen i3.

Suggesting a 480 and an i5 changes his budget from entry level to mid range. And the 480s atm aren't nearly close to $280.

True, was talking in the future, however the $280 rx 480 I gave the link to... So I don't get where you are telling me off or it. Its right there for that price.
