Suggest Me A Small Form Factor PC

[gamma15]

Hi,

Can suggest me with a small-form factor PC setup? Mini-ITX or Micro-ITX.
My usage will be on gaming (20%) and photo-editing (20%) and normal usage (60%).

So intended to get a good GPU (e.g 7990 waiting the price drop) to fit in.

My budget will be 2k without Monitor and OS.

Wah 2k for an itx. Interesting.

My previous ITX cannot even hit 1.5k.

Since most of the time you are on normal usage and less on gaming or photo editing.

Then for SFF can recommend to you the below.

Mobo + CPU Bundle
Gigabyte GA-H77N-WIFI- ITX + i5-4570 ~ $410

RAM
Gskills Ripjaws 1600mhz 2x4gb kit ~ $95

SSD
Plextor M5S 128gb ~ $139

HDD
1tb Seagate 7200rpm ~ $78

GPU + PSU bundle (Optional if you really wanna go for 7990 which kinda overkill for you)
Palit GTX 760 Jetstream 2gb + Seasonic m12ll 80+ bronze 620W ~ $459 (from PC Themes)

Chassis
CM 120 Elite Advanced Black or White ITX chassis~ $89

Total $1270 build at tradepac w/o OS.

Sapphire 7870XT
Fractal Design Node 304

Seems like I over estimate on budget.
Well... I do plan for the Battlefield 4 with this PC...thought 7990 do great on that...

My thought was getting 16GB memory...8GB x2 (not sure go for value or 'Pro')
Looking for Gold or higher grade PSU...
256GB SSD... Still doing reading on Plextor M5P, Samsung 840 Pro, or Crucial M500 (as I''m using Crucial M4 256 now)...

Gaming don't need till 16gb ram. 8gb would suffice.

Gold or higher grade PSU is up to you. Personally you aint powering up anything that requires so much power though. Unless you hoot a 7990 which like ive said quite overkill.

For SSD if you are using Crucial M4 256gb now, just retain it.
