Hi guys,

any recommendations for Mini-ITX rig mainly for gaming.

Budget: 1.3k+ (no need monitor,keyboard, OS and hardrives)

Current setup to be honest is fine, but find half-atx casing too big for my current place

Just a rough idea what I am having now:

i7 920 + udr 3 gigabyte
6gb ram (back then was told triple channelling rams were way to go)
Sapphire 5870 HD (still functions quite alright imo)
1TB HDD
2x SDD
PSU -Seasonic 750W Gold




If i switch to mini-itx, will i be able to use back any of my setup as above?
(Will be keeping the HDD and SSD though)

Or should I just refresh the entire setup.... (Headache what to do with old setup if that happens)

Sell your cpu, mobo, ram.

You can always reuse your graphic card if you are not in need of getting new one.

Reuse HDD, SSD and PSU.

Cheaper ITX casing alternative is Thermaltake core v1 @ ~$75
