Hi guys,

Will appreciate some help here as i have not being building any rigs for 10 years or so.

Due to space contraints, i am looking for gaming rigs in small form factor.
I kinda scope it down to using the following specs:

Case+PSU: Silverstone SG05 w/ 450 PSU
GPU: Asus GTX 670 mini
CPU + Mobo: 4570+ MSI H81I
Ram: Kingston Hyper-X 4GB x2
HDD: 1TB WD Blue
OS: windows 7 home premium
My budget is around 1k to 1.2k.

Any adviceif this is ok? Are there any similar size casings that could have achieve better performance with the same budget?
Do factor in coolers if necessary.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks alot Jian.
Jonsbo looks good.
If i will to opt for a Jonsbo U1, what config will i be able to look at with my budget?

I have a spare slim bluray drive too. Will i be able to make use of that?
I think jonsbo probably don't have a compartment for dvd drives.
