Need Help on Mini ITX Gaming Chassis

Guest · Aug 31, 2013

Hi, I have never built a desktop before however I have conducted myriads on desktop gaming so I can build an optimal rig. I'm not new to gaming or hardware, however I am new to desktops, not all too new to its hardware.

Anyways here's the list of parts I'd like to see inside a small chassis. If the parts do not agree with the case you're thinking of please suggest replacements or methods, etc. of what I can do to make it fit.

CPU: Core i5 4570s
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 760
RAM: 8gb Corsair Vengeance
MOBO: Asus Haswell Mini ITX
PSU: Corsair CX 500watts
SSD: Samsung Evo 500GB

I'm looking for a case similar to that of Digital Storm Bolt and iBuypower's Revolt in terms of size. Of course it doesn't necessarily have to be that small. It also has to look good. Also I'd like nothing bigger than BitFenix Prodigy

Here's the case I was thinking about.
Lian Li Mini ITX Case
Other Lian Li Mini ITX Cases
I just like Lian Li for their style of cases.

I was also wondering if the 4570s has a big difference in heat to the 4570, I remember the max TDP had around a 20watt difference if that helps.

About that, I was wondering if that has a big difference to the full sized cards.

Also would any of these work? http://www.lian-li.com/en/products/#37/1/list

Bitfenix Prodigy with this card:

The 670 is better if not as good as the GTX760

But doesn't the 670 cost more than the 760 only for a few more CUDA cores being the difference? The performance difference, I'd think, is about just a few fps right?

Yes, but not by much, if you want it to fit, but still have a powerful GPU, thats probably the only option for you. Of course with a bit of headroom for Airflow to help cool the GPU. If you want it to be hotter (Due to Airflow limits) then go for the GTX760 the guy listed above

How does the GTX760 restrict the airflow? From what I can they're exactly the same except for the actual GPU.

Because the GTX670 Mini is a smaller card, therefore allowing more airflow through the case, where as a full size GTX760 card is a bigger card, and doesn't allow for as much space for airflow (aka not much room for the fans)

Okay, thanks, that answers some of my questions.

The card he suggested is a mini also if you take a look at the link it's an Asus GTX 760 mini. That's why I said they have similar dimensions.

By the way I found a better case that is still pretty small. The link is where the old link was.

Actually you know what I think I found the perfect case.
