Mini ITX Editing PC

[thatoneguythatsprettycool]

Hi, I am making a custom ITX case for my portable editing build!

I am not going to buy a GPU because I cant afford one right now(I am going to buy a 770 or 870 later).

Specs-

i7 4770K

Maximus IV Impact

H55 CPU cooler

Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB

Corsair Builder 430W

 

Tell me what you think!

what programs are you using?

If you plan on putting a GTX 770 in the build you will need a bigger psu when you do.

Nope. If you knew a few things about power you would know.

[thatoneguythatsprettycool]

what programs are you using?

After Effects, Sony Vegas, Photoshop, Premier.

[CoolBeans]

What, you will need at least a 500W-550W PSU for a 770

Estimated at approx 370w with a 770. And with overclocking it should still be fine.

I prefer a 500w for future expansions. perfect for a 780ti and better for a 770. the cpu cooler is beeing borrowed from a previous build?. if not i would use a LP noctua heatsink.

PCPartpicker isn't accurate, you will need at least a 500-550w PSU

I honestly don't get what everybody's fuss is about getting an overkill power supply. I have a 430watt running my entire system and it runs absolutely beautifully.

Do you think it would excel in overclocking? Or would a H55 do better?

If it was me building i would be looking at a 650w lol, this guy is crazy 'if you knew something about power'

[JoshM]

I have a 430w running my system, and I wouldn't get a bigger card to run in it....

Yea, even if it accurate 60W isn't a lot of headroom if you want to add some more drives or something

[JoshM]

But also it will last longer not being under load constantly and it would also me more quiet

Well im trying to save some cash and Ill upgrade it later when I upgrade the GPU.

Based on your spec list. I assumed you would have at least one SSD, 1 HDD, and 2 fans. I did not take in to account an over clock however

 

The wattage is. 387

 

So you're fine. This is the tool I based on whether or not I needed to upgrade my PSU as well.

just for tightyness, since is a mITX. and the tubing from the h55 isn't really good

In the end you are just going to spend more than if you got the good PSU in the first place...

Yeah I agree, Ill get a 550w

[thatoneguythatsprettycool]

Do you think it will perform well If I OC to lets say 4.5 GHz?

[CoolBeans]

No, a H80 will barley even get that

[thatoneguythatsprettycool]

No, a H80 will barley even get that

What do you think I could get?
