Help on building and ITX PC

Hmm, what should we do

EDIT: I might go with the node 202 instead.

If you go with the 202 then you go with the intel pentium give it a slight bump of an overclock and get the 750ti OR a 950 if your budget allows it

What about an 960?...

What about an 960?...

Thats what i'm thinking (or maybe the 6950) as I dont need that much power. need to talk to the people I'm building it for to see what they think

You'd be better off buying a 480 over a 960. They cost the same(at least in the states) and you get much more power for the same money. Or get a 470, it'll still be faster and it's even cheaper than a 480 if the 960 ends up being cheaper than the 480 in the UK.

I think he might get the 960 second hand and therefore cheaper mate. But I see where you're coming from *thumbs up*

I don't know if the 480 is going to be the perfect match for the intel Pentium, I'd wait until the rx 460 hits the market.

Remember guys the build isn't meant to be a gaming one.

Okay a little update. I managed to get some parts from a friend on the fourms so now I have the following parts: Silverstone SX600 (PSU), Gigabyte GTX 960 (GPU), i7 4790K (CPU), ASUS Z97I-PLUS mITX (Motherboard) & 16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro Blue 1600MHz (RAM). Cooler will be stock

All I need now is the case (I am thinking node 202), SSD and HDD

What do you think of my choices. The HDD needs to be 2.5 as its the Node.

 

[Reloaded2]

Bump. What do you guys think.

 

[Wraith]

Node 202 is a sound choice, nice and slim plus quite aesthetically pleasing.. just be 100% on all the hardware to make sure it fits (gonna be a tight build)

 

[Thelosouvlakia]

Which 960 did you get? The dual fan version or the triple one?

The SSD and HDD are good choices

Easily then, everything will fit perfectly

Perfect then, we should be sorted. Once I have built the PC, I'll post pictures of it on here

By my calculations, especially with the single fan 960, small factor PSU with short cables, stock cooler and the two 2.5 slots will be a SSD and a HDD it should all fit perfectly.
