Guys, I am toying with building a Mini ITX Rig. No Dedicated GPU. Just game now and again and in low settings.

What is the best CPU / Mobo combo with intergrated GPU?

I will be buying a Modular PSU and a small case, maybe a Core 500.I have an SSD.

Plus i will get 8GB ram

It will be used for all types of stuff with the occasional game. Cheers

What about this spec, would it run on a Pico 160W PSU as the case i like is tiny:

I will be using an SSD which i have and an external USB DVD drive. No Dedicated GPU as onboard is all i need.

I am thinking of going with the Antec isk600 now. Put a good / quiet modular PSU in it.

Anyone recommend a dead quiet Modular PSU?

Also, going to def go with a Skylake. Probably a i5-6500

Which ITX board should i go for?
 
Core 500 is the case i have settled on at last!! Pity OcUK dont stock them! I would have liked to have used an AMD BULLDOZERFX-4 QUAD CORE 4170BLACK EDITION 4.20GHZ SOCKET AM3+ PROCESSOR that my mate was going to give me but been told no Mini ITX mobo for them?

So, looks like Intel i guess. Skylake 6600, not sure which mobo yet or DDR4 ram!

PSU needs to be quiet plus will be looking for a quiet CPU Heatsink and Fan setup.

Already have an SSD
 
Guys, i need your help!

Wife wants me to use a smaller case as it will be in the kitchen (Only room available) so

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-050-SR

I want to go Intel. I would have to go Pico PSU.

Skylake an option or not with this case and a Pico PSU?

I would obviously be using the Intel GPU which should be more than enough for my gaming at low settings.

Any help would be massive!

If not Skylake whate other intel? Ta
