Mini Itx build

[sacredrays]

integrated graphics for dota 2 more than enough. I realized that after my gtx 260 up lorry...

For diablo 3, I think mid range gfx can already.

Is it recommended to have R9 290 TF in mini ITX casing? Was told Coolermaster 120 could fit.

bro the case itself quite compact when you put everything tgt... then when compact the heat produced by all the parts will be trapped inside, ending up you will get a toaster and all your parts will be up lorry sooner than other's

Could you explain further why the CX PSU is crap. Im interested in the reason. Thank you.

and the psu please invest in a good one. if you get a cheaper version one and when it booms, it will take down other components with it. So do get a more decent one and i heard that coolermaster cheaper psu are not that tough. even Linustechtips sort of hint that its psu are not that efficient and safe.

Still after checking the temps everything still in parameters.

FFXIV +D3 + anime only.

Hm. seems like psu must really get a good one. How do you define good? I don't even know where to start. haha. can give some guidance in deciding a good psu.

Seasonic G-550 550W Modular 80+ Gold, whats your take on this PSU?

thats a good one. If you can find superflower 500w 80+ gold, they often recommend it as well. Cheaper than the seasonic.
