Hi guys, wanted to get your thoughts on this M-ITX gaming setup.

The optimal budget is about £500 But at the moment iit's quite a bit more. So was looking for some ways to make it cheaper without reducing a lot of performance.

Please share your thoughts :-)

Thanks tbyeah.

Not sure what case to choose I'm not a big fan of all the cube cases that seem to be popular at the moment which limits my choice I suppose.

The idea with this build was to make it look and work like a Games console, so I stayed away from graphics cards and went for the APU to be able to put it all in a tiny slim case. But I guess going that small just costs more.

I was looking at pci-e (laptop style) WiFi cards to keep everything internal.

It's really annoying when the PS4 is only £350 and trying to match it's size and power is an impossible task.

I was impressed with the A10s benchmark scores does the 7770 stack up to the A10?
