[a5un4k]

Hi guys,

Would like a recommendation for a small with a punch gaming rig.

Games AAA Titles ,2015 hardline and gta5 1080p

Budget:1200-1500
Gpu: gtx970
Ssd: Would like 512gb Ssd
Mobo + cpu:?
Psu:modular
Rams:corsair? 16gb?
Os: Win7 or 8?

Not needed :
Don't need optical drive.
Don't need Hdd
Don't need monitor


Would like the build to be a small form pc if possible. Also this rig is solely for gaming. No ms office/documents or media in it. Don't mind asrock gigabyte or Asus mobo. However no msi would be preferred. Was thinking of a gigabyte Mobo with gigabyte g1 gtx970. What do you guys think?

Thanks for reading and helping out.

I think your right about staying away from MSI motherboards.. but on the other hand, I wouldnt say the same for their graphic cards, their models tend to be better quality compared to Gigabyte for example..

In this case which Gpu would you recommend then. For me right now is the best bang for buck performance which I would prefer.
