ITX rig recommendation

[RazerDA]

Hi Guys,

Been awhile since i last setup a comp for gaming and already lost touch with the latest technology.

Need you guys recommendation on an ITX rig as i have space constraint.

Usage - Gaming for games like Fifa13, L4D2, Dota, Sim City 5 at max setting on a 23inch monitor.

Required the following recommendation

Mobo-Cpu-Ram
Video Card
Casing
PSU

For other parts i have currently on hand, therefore will be re-using.

Budget around 750 to 1k

Thanks!

ohh thanks thanks, if psu i wish to go for higher powered and modular, any further recommendation?

no point for higher psu as the above config is more then enough to operate at 400w... plus even if modular also no difference. For an Itx rig the cables inside will almost always be messy

Can i know what's your desired chassis dimensions? And do you prefer a sleek or rugged design chassis?

Can i assume you are going to reuse the current hardware parts from your PC profile on the right >>> ? If so, then can i know whether your ODD uses IDE or SATA interface as follows? Or do you even prefer to omit the ODD?

And are you connecting to internet wired or wireless?

And do you wish to get a larger capacity SSD for future games addition or just stick to your current 80GB one if you finds it sufficient?

You don't need a higher capacity power supply. If you wish to have a modular psu, can consider Seasonic M12 520W @ $109. That price should be able to bargain a little lower..

I doubt you need a high power PSU for an iTX rig. Not much components that you can cram on a iTX board anyway. So far, I think you get a x16 slot, 4 SATA, and may be a mini PCI/ mSATA slot.

Thanks all for the recommendation..cheers!
