Little Gaming Box

[Garvez]

Hello One and All.

Looking to build a SFF system for general web use and some gameing. Basically a "Steam Box" type idea for my lounge.

Games will be played at 1080p
Not looking for for high settings.
Would prefer low noise and a small footprint over preformance.

Game examples
Sonic Generations
Various Lego games
Occasionally, World of warcraft

Is what im thinking.

Budget is around the £450 mark.

Looking for suggestions and case ideas.

Many thanks.

This would be my choice:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Samsung 250GB SSD 840 SATA 6Gb/s Basic - (MZ-7TD250BW) £131.99
1 x AMD A10-5800K Black Edition 3.80GHz (Socket FM2) APU Trinity Quad Core Processor (AD580KWOHJBOX) £99.95
1 x ASRock FM2A75M-ITX AMD A75 Chipset (Socket FM2) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard £73.99
1 x Adata XPG Xtreme v1.0 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C10 2133MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AX3U2133XC4G10-2X) £44.99
1 x Lian Li PC-Q07B Mini-ITX Case - Black £44.99

The case is a tall cube.. Very neat and small.

Personally I'd go Sugo SG05 300W as it's a bit smaller.

Or if you want to go TINY (and you can cool the APU) try a Streamcom FC1 EVO and the 150W PicoPSU they do. I think you'd be OK power-wise (might have to undervolt a touch), but you'd may need a slightly better cooler than the stock one.

Beautiful tiny thing though!

Thanks folks.

Liking the look of the little Lian Li case. Will post pics when I get this up and running.

They do a version of that Lian Li with a slim optical drive slot - shaves a bit more off the height if you don't plan on putting in an optical drive.

Enjoy the build!
