Hi guys,
I'm looking to put together a machine that will be able to play/stream games (DOTA2 99% of the time) in crisp 720p. I have a few parts from my old PC that I can use if needed. These are:
Memory: G.Skill RibJawsX 8GB 1600MHz
PSU: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-116-CS&groupid=701&catid=123
I'd prefer it to fit into a Mini-ITX case but if that isn't possible Micro ATX would be fine.
I think I will be picking one of these up: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-337-AS from the MM for relatively cheap so that frees my budget up a bit. I know this card has GeForce features that take some of the strain off of the CPU whilst streaming and put it on the GPU so it feels like it would be good. However, I am not sure if it will fit into an ITX case, so I would appreciate it if someone could tell me otherwise.
Budget is around £300 but is semi flexible but not overly (£400 if the above card isn't suitable) without a case, and I think I would be fine using a 120GB SSD as I have lots of external storage for music etc.
