so im in the mids of putting my SFF together still one or two parts to get

the main one giving me problems is the psu,

the system will be as follows

I5 3570k
Gigabyte Z77 Mitx
120gb boot ssd
1tb storage
16 gig ram
undecided on the graphics
intel closed loop cooler

mainly used for streaming music and films but i do have the odd session of gaming.

space is a premium in the case so was wondering what would be the best psu for the job. budget for the psu is up to £100

thanks
 
hoping with a fully modular psu it will keep the space for the loop.

the loop was only an idea at the moment as it stops the problem of the pci slot on the board interfering with the cooler for the cpu.

the only parts i havent really decided on at this point is graphics, psu and cooler,

im going without a ODD and getting a USB version and that should help a bit more with the internal space
 
hard drive space is towards the bottom of the case, removing the odd means i can give more room where the psu and graphics will be by placing the hard drives where the odd will be.
 
that indeed does look like the ticket, will do a bit of reviewing to see how others have found it :)

any images of your case :) be interesting to see other options in similar small cases :)

whats the general thoughts on graphic cards for the case? it advises maximum of 180mm.

I have always had a nvidia streak in me however im open to the idea of ATI cards

Light gaming (cs now and again, hitman:abs, COD)
films and music (films run through XBMC)
general web browsing and office docs editing etc

budget - hmm tough one as i would pay for what works out best in terms of meeting my needs, keeping the card cool/silent, futureproof as possible but i understand all tech will get old at some point :)
