New Mini-ITX Rig, check the specs?!

[mxoagentjohnson]

Going to be creating a new rig, the laptop i owned before kept having issues so got it refunded and returned and will be starting afresh with a new rig mid/late september unless the 1080ti gets announced around then in which case i will change the graphics card around.

Here are the specs for the rig (Minus storage as i have all necessary storage here):



Here is the monitor i have decided on:

Anyone have any suggestions on changes?

Ah see i didnt research much into the watercooler, all i saw was it took a maximum of 240mm so i found one with that, pardon my ignorance

Yea, the founders edition is just a placeholder for now to get an idea, ideally id like to go with an Asus card as i've had issues with MSi RMA'ing in the past, but they might have changed since then so you never know!

Like i say, this will be mid to late september, if the 1080ti lands by then or has a definitive date i would change to that, but if it doesnt at that time i'll go for an aftermarket solution to the GPU

If you find any other watercooling solutions i will be happy to hear, typically i like to use Corsair as i've always had trust in them, same as their memory

Depending on what time this year they get released, you may opt for 7th generation Kaby Lake processor. Don't know if there will be a new chipset for the processor, just to milk the customer base some more.

Ah good point, i'll keep an eye out! If it's within the next 3-4 months it'll be a good choice.

It's the PC tech industry, of course they wanna milk it
