ITX PC Recommendation for a girl

[jereme310790]

Hi all,

Have been out from the hardware scene for quite sometime so currently I need help building a rig for my friend. Could you guys recommend a m-itx CPU for a budget of 1-1.1k

Some requirements
-No space constraints but would hope to be as small as possible
-No OS, monitor, DVD Drive needed
-Must have SSD
-User is a girl, girly themed parts appreciated if possible.
-Web browsing, movies and some light gaming (SIMS 4/DotA2)

Thanks everyone in advanced!

Don't have to be hello kitty hahah, maybe just pink LED strips or a red case would be fine. Windowed cases would be nice but not a must. I can probably source a case for her, for now I would need more help on the internal parts. Thanks for your input!

lazada product are inclusive of free shipping

*use lazada app to pay using this code "ONTRACK30"

add-on:

- for dvd depends on which case u buying, u can consider Asus oem dvd @25 (standard pc) or Asus slim pink @69 (itx case or space constraint case)

- psu will be 450W but depends on the casing den we can tell u which psu to get, as there are some fit for itx case and some for atx or matx case.

I did an ITX 2 mths back:

- Silverstone Raven RVZ02 Mini-ITX Case Non-Window (Black)
- Silverstone ST45SF-G 450W Full Modular 80+ Gold SFX
- MSI B150I Gaming Pro AC Skt1151 Mini-ITX Motherboard w/ WiFi a/b/g/n/ac & Bluetooth
- GSkill NT F4-2400C15S-4GNT 2 x 4gb 2400Mhz CL15 1.2v DDR4
- Intel i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core
- Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5" SATA3 SSD

After substracting OS/monitor/KB & mouse, it should cost you about $930ish

GSkill ram even cheaper than Kingston ? almost same as my intended build. only ram and PSU different.

These info are great! Already bought the GTX1060 from lazada, the mobo and proc looks good, I should be getting a ram with heatsink as well just for aesthetics. For the case, I'm actually enquiring with Tech Dynamic for the Pink RM3 that wacko recommended. So I am guessing ATX PSU would be fine. I don't need any DVD and OS so we can skip that

not mITX, but it's pink.

Thanks for the recommendation! Will ask if I can indent these.

desktop computer needs cleaning once in a while, not ideal for a girl. just buy a laptop and connects it to an external monitor lah.

 

[MoneyFace =p]

Girly doesn't need to be stereotyped pink nor white. It can be classy as well.

TS you can consider this Jonsbo mITX chassis, with an Apple-sque touch...

Now selling on Lazada for $129.

 

[MoneyFace =p]

RAM wise should get G.Skill NT DDR4-2400 8GB with a black PCB, matching the overall theme colour for just $49 in SLS.

Meanwhile, for SSD you should wait till they restock and use future DBS/POSB code to buy.

He can go to her house and 'clean' her rig for her.

And he should prepare enough of 'Liquid' Pro for best effectiveness...

Hi all, thanks for all the recommendations and Tech Dynamic especially for assisting me to indent the case. I built the PC last weekend and my friend liked it a lot!

 

[ragnarok95]

Nice build but so much space wasted. lol

 

[MianBaoFren]

Very nice. The ssd is hidden at the back?

[ZrE0_Cha0s]

nice looking though but still think all black inside would be nice

Yeah, maybe a matx would be nicer �

Yes! Decided to put it at the back to give it a cleaner look.
