Greetings,

As with most consumers this week, I'm hoping to maximize by budget by taking advantage of some amazing tech deals for Black Friday. I've previously assembled a Micro ITX gaming machine but never completely finished it nor got it reviewed by any other builders.

So, without further ado, here's what I currently have:



The primary piece I'm missing, and that I honestly have no idea about, is the power supply. This will be my first micro ITX build so I'm not sure how limited I am in the PSU factor due to my limited space. If any experience ITX builders have suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Other than that, I'd really appreciate some feedback on the current setup. Can I do any better with the graphics card without blowing up the price any more? I'm really looking to do some high-end gaming on games like Battlefied 4, Call of Duty Ghosts, Starcraft 2, and Dota 2. As most have guessed, this is designed to be a LAN party box.

I really like the case because of the handles and it's portability which is huge for LAN parties, but if I missed any superior cases with the same features please feel free to point them out!

Thanks for any suggestions.

Regards,
Josh

If you want you could go with the prodigy M that is the same size and can house a Micro ATX (Not just ITX). That would be more future proof as it can have 2 GPUs instead of just one. Also If you want, you could spend ~10 less on a radeon r9 280x for better gaming at higher res due to the higher gddr5 video ram. Also tprodigy M is $30 more. Look up some reviews on it as it has very cool features.

Thanks, I'll take a look at the M class. However, I must admit, I'm really attached to the Z87I-Deluxe.
