An 850W psu is overkill for an ITX build. A 550W would be enough.

Win 10 > Win 8.1

Why a Blu-Ray drive ? Most things are digital download these days.

sorry forgot to mention no need for a monitor as I already dell ultrasharp 27" ips monitor so that gives me a few quid more on the build

Also looking for a full on water cooled system not one of the pre filled sealed systems, I have that at the moment on my current build and although its ok I want something a bit better

 

[8 Pack]

This one is a great spec and picked up 90% in Custom PC's latest magazine beating similar price offerings from our so called rivals.

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/tita...-i7-5820k-4.4ghz-gtx-980ti-6gb-fs-146-og.html

This is a great offering if your doing multithreaded tasks as well as gaming.

i went 850w because i was going to sli the 980, but figured thats too costly and up to op anyways and i chose 8.1 because it was in the basket and you get the free 10 upgrade as they can revert back if they dont like windows 10(im glad i havent upgraded anyways) and i chose bluray because the op might have blurays or what big storage discs and not everyone uses digital .

it was just a mock up, the op can decide if they need so and so and i also didnt add no water cooling because none of the ones i saw seem to support skylake from what i could tell and i dont know anything about building them.

thanks the 2nd one looks nice maybe just a bigger psu in there for future proofing. but that pritty much ticks all the boxes

You can't SLI on ITX.

If you want DX12 then you will need Win 10.

 

[cdodds2004]

do Oc have staff on who i can sit down with a chat and spec a pc? im only 30 mins away and struggling to decide on final build!

ha yeah i know, i already had the 850w in the basket along with windows so was building round it, it was just an idea, op might not even want itx, i was just trying to build a small system to show options , but no sli and no monitor can improve the system further with the money saved.
