Hello guys Great site :)

Hi all, My names Chris & I've only ever had consoles which I've enjoyed a lot over the years
I'm 30 now & I've always wanted to build a pc but always went for the ease of buying a console as all my friends have them.

It is now time to take the plunge & go for it I'm just trying to gather as much info as possible as I want to build it myself & also understand how everything works.
I'm not going to lie & say I know what I'm doing because I certainly don't but I've learnt a hell of a lot the short time I've been joined to this site, oh & YouTube is great.

I've been looking around & I've decided it must be a mini itx set up.
The pc will be in my living room taking the place of my xbox,
I want it to play games and watch movies & general family stuff i.e storing pictures & videos of the kids

Here is what I've been looking at for the build..

intel i7 4770k

asus p8z77-i

corsair 16gb

prodigy mini itx

evga gf gtx 680

just need to know if this would be a system to beat the xbox one and ps4??

I know there is a lot I've missed on the list but there the main things I'm going to order first

Thanks for your time & I look forward to talking to you guys cheers Chris

Welcome to the site. To get the best advice, you should post this question in the General Hardware section

Btw just to ease your mind that setup is leagues ahead of the xbox one and ps4 in terms of performance.

The cost of the new Xbox games are said to be upto £89 per game, I prefer the PC as I feel it's more immersive, you can tweak upgrade and personalise till your hearts content
