Hi,
I am very new to the whole PC building and have only built two before.
I am not into overclocking or modding but just enjoy building a good pc that can play games on ultra.
This year I have decided I need new project, and saw a web blog about Mini PC's.
I thought this would be a great little project and I have researched a number of different components to try and see what is best? There is no real budget I can spend as required, however I would like to keep it under £1000 if possible.
My build plan so far is as follows:
Case - Silverstone SG08 (already purchased sadly however noticed OC is a lot cheaper for parts and will be ordering the rest of the parts from here where possible)
Mobo - Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe
CPU - i5 3570k
PSU - Will try using the one supplied with the case first and if that is not suitable would probably replace with an OCZ supply
GPU - EVGA GTX 660
RAM - 16 gb G.Skill RAM
Cooling - Coolermaster H60
HDD - OCZ 128gb SSD (2.5)
OK that is my plan. I am open to and encourage all comments and suggestions as I have never built anything this small before and know that the biggest issues wil be space and heat.
As I mentioned i will not be overclocking and will play games like Simcity (2013), Tomb Raider, WoW, CoD.
So thanks in advance and I look forward to the read!
