ITX budget PC

[Lil_d3viLz]

Thinking of building an ITX portable PC with Wifi.
Can bring to friend house, can use at living room, can bring overseas.

Asus H81i-PLUS + i3-4160 @ 250
Using back old GPU. HD7000 series.
Using back old PSU.
8GB Ram @ 52
1TB HDD @ 61
Jonsbo C3 Casing @ 99

Wifi is how ah? Card or USB is better?
Was thinking of Card since it's going to be stuck with the PC forever.

my msi b150i comes with wifi , maybe u can consider that and pair it with the i3-6100 instead

Hmmm guess not. just a PCI wifi card will do.

Was looking at Asus wifi card.

Asus PCE-N15
Asus PCE-N53
Asus PCE-AC68

Itx board only got one expansion card slot. So if have gpu means no wifi card.

Get usb?

Any reason why you dont want MB that come with Wifi?

ASRock H97M-ITX + i3-4160 = $338

Slightly more expensive, otherwise the other reason I can think of is compromised performance...

since you are getting jonsbo c3 case, then might as well you get m-atx mobo.. such as asrock H81m-hds r2.0 + i3-4160 = $239 only

 

[jedi5diah]

itx is never budget...

If Asrock H81m-hds r2.0, then i slot in graphic card, still can slot in PciE wifi card?
Don't really know where the wifi card supposed to be.

If Im not wrong, Asrock H81m-hds r2.0 has 2 pcie slots, one for GPU (PCIe 2.0 x16) and one which can be used for you wifi card (PCIe 2.0 x1)

But if price is a concern getting a good wifi usb adapter is also a viable and cheaper option (around $40 will get you a decent one)

Bro ah.
Not itx liao if you are using an matx casing.

If really want portable go gigabyte brix mini pc but prepare to give up gaming.

Alternative if want portability go wait till 10 March for show and go grab a laptop.

Yes. 5kg is portable.
Using headphone instead of speakers. Just need a 24" for gaming at LAN parties.
Laptop is Eeewww. When I bought dell u3011, I am not used to small screens. 24" is the limit.

 

[Brainful Smartass]

But MiniITX casing all squarish. I prefer tower style but much smaller, not flat like dvd player.
