New build

[Scottcordery]

Hi guys need some advice on what kit to get for a new gaming rig. I currently have the thermal take mini v1 case looking at keeping that but want a fresh setup. Would love it if you guys could spec me a mid and high range for a mini itx setup.

Thanks

Scotty

What sort of budget have you in mind?

Is this purely for gaming & is there anything you don't need to buy I.E monitor keyboard, Windows etc

 

[Scottcordery]

Gaming and coding.

No os, keyboard, mouse, monitor

Slightly over budget but with a GTX 970. The gpu is listed as 247mm long on Gainwards website so it should fit ok.

EVGA GS is only 150mm long.

Went with the Gainward because of the blower fan.

 

[stulid]

GTX970 run hot?

Nope, but I would rather exhaust the heat out of the case as there is only a single 200mm front fan for airflow. Apart from that there is 2 x 80mm mounts at the rear.

Op can change to the Gigabyte if He wants.

case has so many holes it will be fine
