Help for a Kaby Lake build

[phife]

Hello fine gentlemen of toms Hardware,

Since mITX boards for Ryzen will probably not be available before half a year from now (latest meet the experts video), I decided to go for an Intel system. I will still wait for Ryzen in the hopes that Intel drops prices.

I have a Dan Case A4, and as such there are some limitations and a small wishlist i composed below. Note: I can deduct 19% taxes off every part (in Germany, these 19% are already included in part prices).

I'll need the machine for the Adobe Suite, including mild video work. Main focus on Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign. I work as a freelance graphic designer and photographer. I also love to game every now and then and would use my 1080p for that. I do want to get a 1440p monitor for professional color work though which i will also use for gaming later in the year. I only play SP games.

A few notes:

1. The RX470 is only a temporary buy until late summer, when i am gonna get a Vega or hopefully cheaper 1070 or even 1080. Resale value is thus important. I heard MSI Gaming X retains its value well.

2. I wont be overclocking anything.

3. Is DDR4 3200 worth it in my case, when i buy fresh? Is the price difference between DDR4 3200 Ram + Z270 board and a DDR4 2400 Ram + H270 big? 32GB ram I#d like to have.

4. This is a mITX build, so mobility and quietness is important to me. The fewer cables, the better.

Here is a PcPartpicker list which serves as an overview for the parts i own and as a wishlist.

in real world your better off going with stock ram and non z mb. in benchmarks you may see faster speeds with faster ram and overclocked cpu. in real life doing an encoding for video file you may save 2-3 sec. your better off spending money or a good gpu and cpu. that why most top end pc use i7 and not i5 cpu. on the itx case try to find a gaming case that uses 120 or larger fans. the smaller 80mm fans are louder the bigger the fans the slower it can run to keep the pc cool.

The Dan Case only allows for something like the C7 (already own both). No extra case fans. That's why i rather opt for 65 w than 91w CPU. I will get an i7 though because if HT

I've found 2, 3 boards. The MSI Z270I is 180 cheapest, then H270I for 160, then an ASRock H270M-ITX for 130.
I can live with DDR4 2400. USB 3.1 would be hugely nice, though. But it seems H270 doesnt have any.

whene your looking at the mb try get one with wifi it save you some room in the case. another trick to save money is buy the small micro atx cases and mb.

Sorry for the bump, but maybe someone else has another opinion on this, please?
