For me it's ticked all my box's, it play's all my game's maxed out 60fps vsync and nice and quite:)

I've put windows 8.1 on 2 Kingston HyperX 3K SSD 240GB in raid0
All my games on 2 Kingston 240GB SSDNow V300 in raid0
And steam os on a Western Digital Scorpio Black 2.5" 500GB HDD
 
Eh 1080p? That thing can do more lol damm so do you have the ram running at 2400mhz XMP then with the 4670k? Because i have a tower for sale beside me that is similiar and ran hot with 3570k running 4700mhz and 2400mhz 16GB with t1 timings :D


It never had a 780TI though, Have you clocked it as well whats the highest temp in say DAYZ? That game really punishes for temps unlike most other games i used. Also Raid 0 something i backed out on with two M4's due to trim hassle and bios revisions.


Well done though i like.
 
I would be tempted to cut back on the video card and have one ssd and stream invest money into an wireless ac router setup and stream games from my main pc to the steambox.
 
Looks good! Personally not too keen on the case.

For just a stream box, the cpu could be downgraded too.

This isn't a streaming box though, this is a full gaming rig. And even though the Steam OS streaming is a cool feature, it requires 2 PCs being on, not just 1. Some people may not roll that way :P

My comment was directed towards freddie1980.

I like what you have there . How's it working out?
 
For those who are concerned about the Silverstone SST-ST45SF SFX Series - 450 Watt psu not capable of powering a high powered pc

I tried a from the wall watt meter today
CPU - Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Stock speed)
GPU - Asus GeForce GTX 780Ti DirectCUII OC 3072MB (stock speed)

Results-

Desktop idle 55-70 watts
Prime95. 150watts
Titanfall 200-310 watts
F1 2013. 170-250 watts
Crysis3. 170-300 watts

Not bad for sff gaming machine:)
 
Loving that case! So much power in a small space :D
