[WhiteBoiDanny]

Hey Guys,
Hey guys im not new to pc building but im building a new build and I am deciding to go mini itx this time. Can anyone help me build a parts list of an ocable I5 and maybe a midranged nvidia card that can max out most games with good fps. I also would like a decent looking case sooo. Thanks guys in advanced no need for an ssd and.... ya thanks guys.

Recap: i5 overclockable, mid ranged nvidia card, and a nice looking mini itx case

any other parts that you don't need?

I don't know if you need an OS with the build, so I went over budget. We can adjust once we know exactly what's supposed to be included in the budget.

If you want to go the mini ITX route I'd suggest doing this. Mine's a bit over budget but you get a GTX 770:

1050 dollar without the os. With the 770 and the 4670k you can pretty much max out every game. I chose the 500R cause its in my opinion a really nice case.

Water-cooler....

Get a Z87 chipset motherboard and a K intel cpu if you want to overclock

 

[WhiteBoiDanny]

but do you know how much an overclock is possible with h55

With overclocking the cpu, its a luck of the draw type thing(google search: silicon luck cpu overclocking). You may get a CPU that can go upto 4.0ghz or you may get one that sees not improvement at all.

I'd reccomend the 4670k, they are great bang for buck, Its Haswell and its unlocked. This are sold at 3.4Ghz and I've seen some get 4,4Ghz, however if you just happen to get bad luck, your 4670k, although identical, might not get 4.4Ghz, It could get anywhere in between or even 3.4Ghz.

Another thing, which is just my opinion through reading and talking, but CPU Overclocking is more for benchmarking and video editing/large scale programs, like autoCad etc. A non oced 4670k will be a fine CPU, especially when matched with a decent card like the r9 270x or the GTX 770. On a budget, Overclocking might be a be something I'd focus less on. Make sure you get a CPU with a K and a z87 mobo to ensure that later on, when you have more money, you can buy a water cooler and then overclock your cpu, but for a budget like yours, I'd focus the money elsewhere for the time being.

Cheers.

oh sorry guys ill make a complete run down of what I need.

CPU: Probably I5 4670k
CPU Cooler: High performmance prefilled loop good for a marginal oc
MotherBoard: quality mini itx z87 board fit for a strong and stable oc
Memory: 8 gigs of a trusted brand probably 1600 mhz
Storage:1 tb of probably WD Blue
Graphics: Good mid ranged graphics card that will max out all upcoming titles and all current titles probably 770 or 760
Case: A nice looking case not to flashy but not to dull and fairly small form factor I was thinking of that new mini itx corsair case but it might be to expensive
PSU: A good rated power supply if possible fully modular and it can be bronze certified

No optical drive or os needed guys sorry thanks again

Alright cool thanks I have another 4670k that I have at 57 degrees celcius at 4.6 ghz stable thanks I will consider doing a marginal overclock and put the rest of the money into the graphics

Yeh, Do you know what kind of games you will play? If you plan on bf4, I recommend getting something that supports mantle. Do a google and see for yourself man. I just bought a r9 270x, which is great money for value. The r9 280 price is a bit up coz litecoin miners are using them but had i had enoug money I would of went with that.

Cheers

I still recommend all the components I suggested above. It comes to about $990 when you take out the OS and optical drive. It would make a very powerful little machine and fulfills all your requirements. The only thing is I didn't include a modular PSU. The SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze is the modular version of the PSU I recommended in my build.

 

[mike676]

Still the same build as I already posted.
