So its that time again and I'm ready to build a new pc. However instead of going all out like I have in the past (3 video card/eyefinity builds and lots of overclocking) I want to go with something simpler. I also tend to find myself with more computer than I actually "need". With that being said I want to build a gaming rig in a small form factor. I not only think that it will be fun to build on a small scale but I also think it will be challenging. I fell in love with the small form factor soon after my last build when the bitfenix prodigy came out. I just love the idea of a small powerhouse system. So enough with the back story and on to what I'm looking for specifically. I want a system that is somewhat future proof or as future proof as I can make it. Building a new system every few years is tiring. I want to just take out an old component and pop in a new one. I also want the system to be able to run games now and games for the next few years on high/ultra at 1080p. This system will also need to be able to stream if at all possible and still maintain a good frame rate in game. I understand that this is a lot of requests however I consider the readers on this forum to be some of the best and if anyone would be able to give me a decent build it will be you all. Thanks for looking and I look forward to your replies.
