Mini ITX Build

KingBoo9911

Hey so I was thinking of going with a mini ITX build for a gaming PC that I might be building. Could someone suggest a decent build? With like Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales and stuff in mind? 

 

- $1000-1400 or so, including Windows but not including peripherals

- Needs a decently fast SSD

- GTX 1070 or 1080

- Liquid cooled??? How do you properly cool a mini ITX PC that will be probably taken to LAN parties? 

 

Thanks you guys are always super helpful here.

I'd personally just use a small air cooler if you're going to be moving it around a lot, but it all depends on your case.

I don't think anyone's leaked the prices for the Black Friday sales yet. So we can't really advise you properly in that regard. Best to just wait until the sales start and plan your build then.

Thanks all. What do you mean by a small air cooler? And it won't be moving that much, it'll stay on desk mostly, I just need to be able to move it when I need to.

Is this going to be used for anything else except gaming?

Yes. It will be on mostly all the time after I come home from school for some games, homework, browsing, youtube. Basically everything.

You need to quote someone like this if you want them to see that you've replied.

Ah, then I wouldn't be too worried.

Air coolers cool the CPU with a heatsink and fan.

Then your gonna want the water cooler, air isn't exactly the best when it comes to cooling.

Your build is pretty good but I don't really need a 3TB HDD, and I think I can get better prices on the PSU and Mobo. Thanks anyway though.

team dark is one of team group's ram lineups. more than reliable enough. the case is a small mini-itx HTPC case, very small.
