Lite ITX workstation help...

[CaptainFuzzyBoots]

So my main pc was damaged and i wanted to build myself a new one. 

I thought to myself "hey small is the new sexy right?"

 

So I was wondering if someone could help me with cost effective component options.

(All I did was study and play some light titles on my regular pc)

1 ITX case

2 ITX Power Supply

3 Quad core cpu 2.0

4 16 gb of ram

5 ssd (about 256)

6 cooler if possible

7 motherboard

8 4gb graphics card

9 i dont have Ethernet in my room so some kind of networking component

 

 

if anyone has any good suggestions on any of these please reply!

Do you want console sized pc or little bigger than that? Also what is your budget?

[Paytend01]

a low power and small pc

[CaptainFuzzyBoots]

It would be great if the price could be somewhere under 800$. 

 

I would like it small as long as air flow isn't an issue.

 

Thanks guys great suggestions so far!

I really like the use of the node 202! Everything here is balanced and compact, however i think I will invest in a sli compatible motherboard because I think I can fish out the gtx 950 out of my old rig. (ill also get some more ram and a better psu!)

seasonic is one of the highest quality brands on the market. the only one that outranks them is delta, and they only make server psus

 

you wont find a sli capable mini itx motherboard

Where do you get this claim from? Do you have sources that Seasonic is better than all but one brand?

You forgot Flextronics with the AX1500i. And just by question are you pulling these units from a PSU teir list?

they are all exemplary units from testing

 

if you want to ask someone on the quality of those units, as

http://www.jonnyguru.com/index.php

 

the absolute undeniably best psu website in the world

over 432 psus reviewed

One would be hard put to find a Seasonic model that is less than very good, many fall into the excellent category. This holds true for pretty much their entire product line, from 300W up to 1200W. There are several other oem (as opposed to marketing companies like EVGA and Corsair) that have excellent models. But few, if any of those models are under 550W.

 

As @007agentHP suggests, jonnyguru is an excellent source for psu reviews. You can also check techpowerup and hardwaresecrets. An extensive test database can be found at us.hardware.info.

 

@CaptainFuzzyBoots, did you take a look at the Silverstone Raven case?
