Gaming power/Opinions

[Sean-]

Just wondering what sort of settings/games this build will play comfortably

 

Its being made as a HTPC mainly but would like to be able to play some games from the sofa, stuff like Civ V, GTA V etc, maybe some other games i can play relaxed with a controller

 

Any pointers/opinions would be great

 

Thanks

Great build, push for a 1070 if your budget allows, if not good build!

I am building a similar build with a 1060 and 6600k. I would reccomend the cooler master 212 fan and you probably only a 500 watt power supply

I dont think theres a 1070 which fits unfortunately, that 1060 is the Zotac mini version, id happily go for a 1070 if theres one which fits

 

I only have 280mm of space, and most cards arre 290mm+ that i have found

 

If anyone has any ideas that would be great

 

The Node 605 is a really small case

note: "HTPC" case

The PSU is fine, 50 extra watt isn't doing do anything  

 

That's a fine build

I have a PC-08 in my main rig, cant go wrong with Lian Li ha!

 

I would have had the same if it wasnt for space restraints ha
