[Santac]

Is this a good Mini-ITX build? I will be playing most games on medium-High settings.

Short answer is no. You could do much better for $800. I will put something together for you.

I want it to be Red themed, and the reason why it is 800$ is the monitor is included. It is $650 without the monitor

This is much better in every way

Ah I didn't know you wanted a red theme. How much performance are you willing to give up to keep it red?

Oh I just meant that the case should be red.

I messed around a little with your selection and changed the Ram to red and the GPU to something different in the 280x (XFX Double D) the only reason I chose that 760 is because it said ITX. Then I looked at the Case overview, and say that it supports 333mm graphics cards... wow. So this is what I got: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pRfk8d

lol you realize you are going to pay an extra $13 for that red RAM right? Is it that important? Look up some reviews and you'll see that the Sapphire Tri-X Radeon cards are typically the best. I would definitely take it over the XFX DD that $10 more. I didn't mess with your case. I did find red RAM that you won't have to pay so much extra money for. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f32133c9d8gxl
