Hello all,

I have always wanted to build a Bitfenix Prodigy APU build just to play games at Lan's and over at friends houses without taking around the old laptop. Since I don't really want it shed a ton of money into this, and I won't be using it all the time (maybe I can convert it into a Media centre PC when not in use).
Richland has come out and I thought I might "haswell" take advantage of the socket not changing. (and I believe it won't for the next gen APU's?)
I want to OC it to the max, which will be my first time doing it properly!
Just wanted to double check the specs if there is any conflict or whatnot.

And yes, there is no mobo because the two on Ocuk are not A85X chipset.
I have been looking at the Asrock FM2A85X-ITX Socket FM2 board. Any good?

Would have to agree with that, the H100 seems like overkill to me? Any of the big air coolers would surely do?
 
Personally I'd dump the Prodigy and the H100i and go Sugo SG05 with a H60. Then boot off the Crucial mSATA as listed by phil_c.

If you change then to a 2.5" WD Scorpio you can fit in where you have space, for example stuck underneath the PSU if you invert it so the fan's at the top. Although you can probably fit a 3.5" drive underneath the PSU.
