Hey guys,
I've been following these forums for a while now, but need some advice on the computer I'm about to build, as it's going to be my first time.
Case: BitFenix Prodigy/Phenom mini ITX
CPU: Haswell i5 4570
GPU: ASUS GTX 760 mini 2gb
RAM: 8gb
Hardrive: 1 64gb SSD for the system, and a 1TB for everything else.
I need some advice on the motherboard, cooling, and PSU.
I plan to use the system for mainly gaming, BF4 etc. I don't plan on overclocking any part of my system.
I was recommended the H87I-mini ITX motherboard. Is that a good choice?
Also would a 650w PSU be okay? If so, can you recommend any good products/brand names?
In terms of cooling, I live in central China, where it gets extremely humid during the summer, and is also quite dusty. I am not interested in watercooling, as it's too expensive. How many extra fans and of what quality would be needed for my prodigy/phenom build to keep it ticking over without causing any heat problems?
Thanks in advance!
Jack
