Spec Me A Shuttle Gaming Rig! - Not Asked For 1 Of These For Years!!!!

As title guys, I'd like to know what shuttle (or other barebones) would be great for gaming & bluray watching?

I can half spec it myself but I've been out of the business for so long I'd like your opinions.

Now I'm not really fussed which make of gaming card, ATI or Nvidia but just which will fit and offer the best FPS for future use etc (Crysis & Beyond).

I'd really like 2x1TB in raid though by the way!

Cheers in advance.

You can fit a GTX260 Maxcore into that spec, but I don't know if the 400W PSU would be able to take it.

How about using the Silverstone SG-01B?
Might give you a bit more flexibility.

Claimed!! This is what i did over the summer, went from a full tower to a SFF case without diminishing performance.

I'd recommend the Silverstone SG01-F -the only Sugo case that fits full length graphics cards (as i found out when i bought the SG01-E to only find my 260 was about an inch too long).

Then get a mATX board - either the Asus P5Q or the DFI P45 LanParty board.

Rest is up to you although i would definitely get a modular psu in an sff case.
