First Build!

[dummgrumm]

Hello everyone!

 

This is my first post in the forums regarding my first build!

 

I want a system that's both tiny and powerful, so I chose a Mini ITX case! (I live in South Korea and I'm going to the states for college so portability's a priority)

 

Please give me some feedback on the parts! Thank you

 

(A lot of the parts are more expensive in Korea because of taxes and exchange rates)

 

(I decided to use a air cooler instead of a water cooler because airport security is always finicky and I didn't want to run into any trouble)

honestly that build seems really good. no mistakes there. Also if there is extra bays in your case, might want to pick up an HDD? I don't know how far 480GB will get you.

Nice part list.

Good choice on the Cryorig cooler, those're really well designed, easy to install, great warranty and should be ample for a bit of overclocking.

First (this is not a bad thing) , something about those parts tells me that you were probably using PcPartPicker.  About the actual build, from my basic knowledge those parts look alright.  But if you care about upgradability then you may want to get a 650watt+ power supply.  Also I'm not sure this is true, but I hear that your CPU cooler can be big in standard cases so you may want to look into that considering your case size.  Lastly you will probably want to also get a 1tb hard drive, because 480gb fills up fast.  Aside from that, your build looks fine.

picking up a wd blue is a good idea. You'll run out of space real quick.

Mini cards are prone to thermal throttling especially the 1070 and 1060 it is a known issue.

that is overkill for 1080p.

Also to add if you are doing a mini or a itx build you want a blower style card.
