Hello,
I would like to start off by saying I know the general performance I can expect of this build.
I am posting for opinions, and potentially a change to hardware spec.
Specs:
CPU - Intel Core i7-4790k 4.0GHz
MOBO - ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard
Cooler - Corsair H90
RAM - Kingston Fury Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
HDD - Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU - Zotac GTX 970
PSU - Silverstone 600W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular SFX Power Supply
Case - Silverstone FT03B-MINI (Black) Mini ITX Tower Case
It all comes out to be around $1280. The max limit is $1300.
I like the Small form factor/HTPC builds because they are easier to move from place to place.
I have thought about the Bitfenix Prodigy, Corsair 250D. Just not something that I particularly like.
I'm curious to know if anyone here has used this particular case for their build? Early on I was thinking of the RVZ01 to build a console-esque PC. Then I saw the FT03B-MINI. It looks nice, sleek and all around beautiful. With the combination above, does anyone know what kind of clock I can see with respectable temps?
Also, ZOTAC. I've been fond of EVGA myself because of how good their cards run at what once was a generally cheaper price. However, this time it appears Zotac is the cheapest option. What can anyone tell me about their cards?
