Hello, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PJbCnQ
I'm building a slightly upscale workstation/gaming PC for $1200. I want it to be Mini ITX to save money on the case.
I am decided on the case, CPU, CPU cooler, mouse and keyboard, SSD, fans, HDD, and OS. However, the graphics card will likely be an AMD 300 Series.
Also, will this build be able to overclock the i5 4690K well and keep it cool? That's why I chose this case (great ventilation).
Any tips on cheapening this without losing performance are appreciated.
I plan on overclocking and the 15% performance gains overall and 1-5% FPS gains seemed worth it to me.
Any tips on cheapening this without losing performance are appreciated.
Thanks! This is my first ever PC build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PJbCnQ
