Oki heres the story my brother inlaw is only 14 he is currently using my e350 itx setup for homework, usual web browsing, only plays minecraft (lol)uploads vidoes on youtube about minecraft :/, the e350 system is oki he gets 60fps on low to medium settings plugged upto a 19inch lcd tv thru vga none hd but I need my system back for my tattoo shop and 2 its not perfect.

Now the reason Im going with itx is because he stays at his gran doesnt have the space for even a medium set up if hes not staying at his grans hes either at mine or his bigger brother, with a itx he can just throw in his bag and take with him.

I have sitting here is a lian li q07 that Im currently respraying and gonna hand paint a minecraft theme or a necron theme from games workshop since hes a huge warhammer fan...Ill post up pics soon when its done.

So Iv got the case, dvd drive,ssd, and he can Have my moduler psu 400watts 80plus.

Iv choosen 2 set ups that should fit his needs perfectly

setup

i3,4gb ddr3 ram, zotac z68 includes the gt430 (could upgrade to i5 keep stock cooling)

or llano itx chipset with a6 triple core 4gb of ram keep with onboard but could crossfre with a 6570..

Out the 2 what set up would you go with, both boards have built in wifi, I like the both of them both would sit inside the lian li q07 nicly....Rember hes not a gamer just needs summit that has a little more grunt than the amd e350.

Oh thanks for the help on my gaming build and sorry about my spelling and grammer.
 
How about a 6670 or 6770?

Is the 6670/6770 a passively cooled GPU? That would marry nicely with a Llano chip and a dinky little mobo.
 
Llano is quite nice actually. It's more than enough for 1080P playback with just the onboard video. You'd really only need the 6670 for more gaming needs.

Oki I had a look at all his games and his most demanding is minecraft

games are as follow

minecraft

diablo 1/2

balduers gate 1/2
