First build help

[o0osamooo]

Hi all.

I am in two minds about which build I should go ahead and build, an mini itx or micro atx build. The desktop: will be used for gaming mainly, must have wifi (on-board or pci), support Samsung's 950 m.2 series, will be overclocked and support a 144hz monitor. I plan to do some strong overclocking on the CPU (4.5ghz min target) and possibly the GPU.

 

So I am asking for some advice on what you guys think. Both builds below are priced the same and the only thing bought at this point is the RAM.

 

Mini: i7 6700k, Asus Z170i pro gaming mobo, G skill trident z 16gb RAM, Noctua D15, Samsung 950 256gb + 500gb SSD, GTX 1070, Phanteks evolv ITX, 650 watt PSU

 

Micro: i5 6600k, Gigabyte GA Z170MX gaming 5 mobo, G skill trident z 16gb RAM, Corsair H105, Samsung 950 256gb + 500gb SSD, GTX 1070, Corsair air 240, 650 watt PSU, PCI wi fi card

 

Any feedback would be great.

Thanks!

Go for the mini, i7 and 1070 will destroy most all games you throw at it.

microATX

i5 is more than enough for gaming
matx has room for upgrading later 
change case to the evolve mATX
more room for fans and cooling components
 

both builds are great imo, i just dont like the Corsair case

I like the Corsair air 240 more than the Phanteks evolv (because cases, are everything... Style, is everything) but the Mini will pretty much demolish all of the games.

I'd get the one with the better hardware. 6700k
