Hey guys, im having trouble looking for hardware for a mini pc, not sure if certain pieces are to big for the cases.

The case is the mini-itx cube case.

Budget: £500

I have my own keyboard,mouse,speakers,OS

Bitfenix Prodigy
Asus Z77-I Deluxe
Intel 3570K
660Ti GPU
Corsair HX620

With this you lose zero performance and that board is faster than the sabretooth.

You can ask or just use the configurator.

It's not over budget it's what I got minus the GPU if you know how to shop. Just deal with the onboard IGPU until you get the 7850.
