I just need to have something easy to transport and compact.

What set up did you go for ?

TBH tho even if you went bigger only thing that would change would be mobo and case.

Mobo the Z77 board is exactly teh same price and case would probably be the same.

If your not gonna OC then there is no point going bigger anyway.

I was just a bit put off looking at people build photos, looked like quite a lot of effort to squeeze in a big GPU into that case. Plus wanted the flexibility to OC, the prodigy is a great looking case though, handles will be handy if you need to transport a lot.

Silverstone TJ08-e case
Asus p8z77-m pro motherboard
Intel i5 3570k @3.4
HD 7950 GPU
Antec kuhler H2o 620 with 2 gentle typhoon fans

wanted to squeeze as power into as small a space as possible
 
I'm going with idle man set up.
Just couple of questions to finish it of.
I need WI-FI so do I need to add to my basket this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-010-IN
Will it fit to the case ?

Do I need a sound card or sound will be coming from mother board ?

Many thanks

Considering ITX only has one expansion slot it might be wise to use that for a GPU. Some higher end ITX boards have Wi-Fi built in, the cheaper ones do not and you can use a USB dongle. You can use the onboard sound card.

Anyway, that's a wired NIC. :p

You could use this. Onboard sound i spretty good these days. You can always get a sound card later, if you are not happy with sound quality.

Wired nick ?? Are you trying to mock me here ??? LOL. :p

SVK - is a short cut of my name and at the same time it's a short cut of my country so it's easy to remember.

Uff you have saved me here. Them dongles like to get hot,wouldn't be better to go for MB with built in WI-FI ????

Don't know if I should correct you or not, but NIC stands for Network Interface Controller. :p
