900 USD mini ITX build

[Abel225]

Heyho

 

I just moved and now I am trying to build a new mini ITX gaming pc. I want mini ITX because I never had it and I always wanted a small build. My original budget was 700 plus a monitor but then I bumped it to 800 plus monitor so I could fit a bit more power in there.

Parts

CPU: Intel Core I5 6500

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i 33.8 CFM 

GPU: MSI GTX 1060 6GB

Storage 1: A -Data Premier SP550 M.2-2280 SSD

Storage 2: Hitachi Ultrastart 1TB 7200RPM HDD

MOBO: MSI H110I Pro Mini ITX

PSU: Silverstone SFX Fuly modular

RAM: Avexir Core 2x8 GB

CASE: Silverstone Sugo SG13B

Monitor: AOC i2369V 23.0" 60Hz 

 

If there is anything yo would change then please tell me! I would still like to shave up the price if possible but I like how the build turned out so far. I would love to have an all SSD build but I need more then 240GB of storage. I was thinking of putting another 2.5" drive instead of the HDD but it's too expensive. Maybe I'll skip the HDD for now and just buy an SSD once this one fills up.

 

Thanks for the help!

You don't have to use an overpriced SFX PSU with that case, you can use a normal sized PSU there, one that will perform better and is way cheaper.

Upgraded the SSD to a better and cheaper one.

Upgraded the motherboard to have wifi.

Switched to a cheaper 1060 that's still fine for cooling.

This cooler is better and cheaper. You can still take the noctua because both are overkill for the i5.

personally for a case i prefer the coolermaster elite 130. its just barely longer but allows for an extra fan, lots of drive storage (2x2.5in drives and 2x3.5in drives), an optional drive bay and longer graphics cards and all in one water cooling support. same price if not a bit cheaper.

The reason I had that GPU is because I liked the look of it. The PNY is the same price without mail in rebate which I know I will forget.

I want it to be as silent as possible that is why I wanted a good cooler to run it at low rpm. 

I trust you with everything else. Thank you very much!

To me the coolermaster elite 130 is too long. I don't mind not having the fan support I'd rather have the shorter case. I already want it to be shorter but this is the case that feels the smallest that I liked.
