RE: HELP ON building a mini-ITX
Hi All,
I need some advise on building a mini-ITX rig.
This system mainly for surfing net, some basic photo editing, gaming like Dota, CS and football manager & hopefully can last a few years before next upgrade.
Budget of $2000, excluding monitor & peripherals at the moment.
Currently looking at i7 4970k + Z97I GAMING ACK, a R9 390 - 390X Gpu.
Needed advise for my shortlisted selection & changes if its unsuitable & recommendation for
16GB Ram
SSD (will be using old SSD if exceed budget)
PSU (can my old PSU reuse? if exceed budget)
CASING
OS
Any additional Fan or water cooling setup needed?
My old setup
INTEL CORE 2 DUO E8600 @ 4GHz (29/08/2008)
THERMALRIGHT VENOMOUS-X CPU COOLER with SCYTHE FAN
MSI P45 PLATINUM (29/08/2008)
XTREEM DARK 1066 (29/08/2008)
CRUCIAL M4 256GB SSD (21/06/2012)
INTEL SSD 80GB (04/05/2010)
INTEL SSD 520 (24/04/2012)
LG GH22 LS30 LIGHTSCRIBE DVD
POWERCOLOR 2GB 7850 PCS+ DDR5 (09/04/2013)
ENERMAX MODU 82+ 625W (31/08/2008)
LIAN LI PC-7FNWX
DELL 2412M (17/08/2012)
Thank you!
