Bitfenix Prodigy Build.

[cueballkrill]

Hello,

I'm looking to make something that will last at least 5 years. I'm not a heavy game player (but I do like to play the odd game every now and then) I mainly use my computer (an ageing acer revo) for media.

I would like this machine to be as quiet as possible.

I already have the case (Bitfenix Prodigy) now I just have to put the bits inside. This is what I was going to buy, could you please make changes if needed!

ASRock Z97e-itx
i5-4690k or i3-4330 or G3258
Nocta NH-U12s
Corsair Vengeance 1600 1x8gb (Concerned with heatsink clearance)
PSU - Seasonic or Be Quiet unit. Not sure.
GPU - Hoping to run on the cpu's graphics at the moment, but I'd want a silent card maximum £100.
+ SSD & 4tb HDD

As I said I don't really play games. But I do watch lots of HD media so I want something that could potentially deal with 4k material when it starts to come out in the future.

Thanks for looking.

Jon

edit - I have no interest in overclocking.

What's your max budget for this?

I think the CPU cooler max height is 160mm so this cooler *should* fit, might want to reconfirm that though

Also got an R9 270X in there, a nice GPU

Cooler is possibly OTT for no overclocking anyway, and a lower down Z97 board + an i5 4440 would be a good combo. RAM is low profile so should fit under the cooler

I built this one for my other half but chucked in a custom water loop, and a GTX 670. But would have gone the R9 route if they were out then. Gave up a large HDD for a 1TB 2.5" as i put a rad in the front. Hope it's some sort of help.

Thanks for this. It has given me something to think about.

When you do finish your build, I am looking forward to seeing it!
