mATX/ITX build - £1200

[Dan7]

Looking to build a new PC for gaming/streaming and some video editing, triple monitor setup, resolution of main screen is 1440p.

Already have the monitors and a NZXT HALE90 750W PSU that I'd like to use if it fits in the case! I've also got 4x4GB of Samsung Green DDR3 that I can move over from my current PC.

Pretty open to any suggestions, quite like the look of the Bitfenix prodigy cases and ideally fan noise would be kept to a minimum.

Apologise if that's a little too much to ask, but any help would be massively appreciated, I've been out of the loop far too long!

Why itx? You could go micro and use two 970's?

Single card option with triple 1440p screens is not going to get you much performance when gaming.

 

[Dan7]

Open to suggestions, certainly would consider micro!

I only game on the main 1440p screen, the others are just smaller 23" screens for social media / photoshop work.

Thanks, like the look of that Corsair case so something along those lines could be a plan!

 

[Threepwood]

Check the edit, forgot a heat sink, and it was the wrong motherboard

Did you put the i7 4770K in by mistake ? The i7 4790K is a better option.

 

[Threepwood]

Yes!

I am having the worse day ever on the intrawebs.

Thanks man, edited.

That Motherboard doesn't support SLI.

You would be better with a WD Blue or Seagate. The WD Red are NAS HDD.

I don't think the H105 will fit in the Lian-Li.

 

[Bonjour]

Boo. Didn't check the SLI on the mobo and you're right about the Reds. I normally prefer Seagate anyway.

The Lian Li is designed for a rad, I believe. I'll have a rummage to see if it's compatible with the h105..

 

[Bonjour]

The H105 would be fine in that case. Substitute in the Asus Gryphon and a Barracuda and you're good to go.

[Bonjour]

Thinking about it, you'd be better off getting a 980 over the two 970s, especially in such a small case.
