I've been thinking of spending about £1000 on a PC/hackintosh box used for 3D and video editing. (After Effects, 3DS Max)
I thought it would need to be housed in a standard big ugly case but have been recently looking at Bitfenix Prodigy and some mini-ITX mobos which could make for a lot more attractive housing. I won't be overclocking this build, and would like to keep it quiet.
The software I use takes advantage of GPU so looking to get a beefy GTX card in.
Here's my sketchy parts list so far:
i7 3370k
16gb memory (4x4gb)
256gb SSD
4gb GTX670 or GTX660ti (prob gtx670 for 256bit bus)
PSU - No idea - something quiet and small, 500w should handle it?
Fans - no idea - recommendations?
Mobo - not sure yet - could the new gigabyte mini-ITX Z77 handle my setup?
Any other good mini-ITX ivy bridge mobos in the pipeline? or should I forget mini-ITX and go full size?
