Mobo - msi b150i gaming

GPU - 970 +- 500 or nano

PSU - silversone 500w
Casing - node 202 (250)

Ram - 2x4gb (118)

SSD - 850 pro 512gb (325)
HDD - wd blue 3tb (143)

Prices are from:

newegg online.

any cheaper source?

or should I get haswell itx build?

main purpose of rig:

hdd not that important. can use ssd for the meantime, hdd is used for storing downloaded contents

Just store on the SSD. 512GB should be large enough

Gigabyte GA-H170N-WiFI....

in the meantime yes, but not for long

For HDD, its HGST or none..

but i'm using it purely for storage only.

also, is it better off for me to savage parts from marketplace, mix and match?

That motherboard is a waste of money...

may i know why ?
cause planning to hoot this one also..

There's this new motherboard just launched (or at least just available in SLS)

Asus B150i Pro Gaming Aura

I think I'm gonna settle with this for my ITX build. Gonna hoot tmr, will update you how it goes!

 

[harharhar]

I just got the following for my ITX build

i7-6700
Asus B150i Pro Gaming / Wifi / Aura (bundle $665, SLS)

2 x 8GB DDR4 RAM ($101, Amazon)
500GB Samsung 850 EVO M.2 SSD ($229, Amazon)

Silverstone SX500LG ($130, t258jgn)
Silverstone SG13 ($75, t258jgn)

Re-use:
MSI GTX760
3TB HDD

You may adjust to your needs accordingly. FYI, the i5-6500 bundle is about $500 @ SLS.

I have yet to receive the SSD, so I can't let you know how the motherboard performs. But it looks solid on physical inspection.

Hope that helps! Cheers

Nano is much better than 970 but cost more (esp. in DX12). So it depends on whether your budget allows for nano or not.
