Hi all and a very Merry Christmas.
I know Boxing Day sales started on Christmas Eve but now it actually is Boxing Day I feel like I can get stuck in.
Helping a friend out for this one. The jist is he wants to upgrade his gaming rig and also produce an ITX machine [preferably from hand-down parts] for his parents office to replace their P4 system!
His current setup is an i5-3450 in an Asus P8Z77-V PRO w/ 8GB [2x4] Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600C9 and a EVGA GTX660Ti.
The plan is to try and get hold of an S1155 ITX motherboard (this might be a bit tricky) and use it with his 3450 and ram to make a really small form factor office pc - here we're looking for a good case and PSU to house and run it all.
His existing mobo and GPU will go on the MM and then he wants kitting out with something that will take on the latest games at 1440p. He's taking my advice and going to size down to an mATX case (that'll be whatever he likes the looks of) and going with one more powerful card and thinking Skylake.
Can't wait to see what you guys come up with and thanks for your help
