Building an AIO PC. Comments Please!

Solution
I didn't find any issues, except perhaps take a closer look at the CPU cooler (in terms of noise).

It fits a stock Intel cooler, which probably is just as quiet as the one you added so I don't see the point of the cooler you chose.

It fits a stock cooler so you support up to 60mm. I'd get THIS one:

And setup fan control of course using motherboard software.

So again, either spend the $30 for a better cooler or stick with Intel stock.


Kinguin sells legit Windows 10 keys. I have bought 4 keys in total off of there with 0 issues. Also, PaulsHardware uses that website to buy Windows 10 keys.

Pros and Cons.
With your solution you do get an SSD, though again not sure about the Windows 10 license.

If you decide to go with yours then:
1. Does the stock Intel CPU cooler fit?
If so, I'm not sure the cooler you chose is any better. It's only about NOISE anyway because any cooler (that fits the case) will cool enough.

2. 1x8GB
You don't need dual-channel with a CPU like this. If you get a single stick you can add another one later if you decide you need more memory.

So...

I guess there are pros and cons. Your solution isn't in as nice of a package, but it's easier to take apart and troubleshoot.

*Personally, I would go for the Intel i3 solution.
 


okay. Paul is a pretty straight shooter.
 



You are correct that I can get other AIOs for cheaper and they look nicer. But I was looking for an AIO that has an SSD, couldnt find one. The biggest point to this build is that I can make this PC an AIO one second and then the next a super portable mini itx. It will be connected to only 4 Vesa mounted screws, so it would be easy to take it off.
