Convinced my wife to go mITX instead of a lappy... i'm secretly building it up a secondary gaming rig... i'll add a GPU when i haz a bit more moolah...

i'm going to reuse some of the SSDs / HDDs that i have lying around here...

RAM don't need low profile.. unless you already have that ram in hand then its fine.

i like the LPs for the aesthetics... i already use the standard vengeance and it is getting boring...

Dun think you need till 860w... thats too much for single gpu... $$ can be lowered by getting 600w psu.

just a few bucks more expensive than ax760i... i'm after it for the corsair link

but yes i know that it is over powered...

Actually corsair link on psu gt what use? Monitor psu temps and what else? I see the link is more useful on h100i or so.

I think he wanna secretly convert this mITX rig, which is for his wife, into his secondary gaming rig. Based on his 1st post.

I call that the HWZ HWC experience where everyone thinks of you as an idiot unless proven otherwise

it took some convincing because my wife was dead set on still having a laptop... her last laptop never even left the house... while it did last 3 years - when a lappy is borked... its borked with very little you can do fix it... besides the trouble of fixing a lappy generally isn't worth it...

Corsair Link V2 Features and Functionality

it's actually pretty cool... centralized fan profiles / light controls... i'm going to try score a link commander and a lighting node...

if not obvious yet, i'm building a asus/corsair themed rig...

next step in my secret upgrade path would be

black anodized K95 mx browns or red if possible... need it be quiet
Vengeance® K95 Fully Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

black m95 mouse... i'm more of an FPS gamer..
Vengeance® M65 FPS Laser Gaming Mouse

haven't decided on the GPU yet...

if i want to go simple some lower end NVIDIA GPU... i'm considering a 750Ti with a kraken G10 mount and a 120 rad -- fully AIO water cooled mITX build... lol

or the logical route would be to GTX780Ti... just in case i want to play 3-way SLI later on (with the other 780TIs in my other rig)...

i've been away from hwz for awhile... must have had a spate of noobs come through recently

But gtx750 so low temp why still need WC ?

 

[coyote]

Ts seemed to be building a nuclear reactor super computer behind the disguise of his wife's mitx pc... lol.

Everything is overkill in almost every aspect...

 

[t258jgn]

I would rather get a 27" monitor & the balance for the parts.

Still researching if the bracket will fit but won't it look uber cool.. then imagine the overclocking experiments you can do...

I have a feeling that an over clocked 750ti will equal a stock 580...

If not maybe 660ti... not considering this into budget yet... theory crafting only...
