Hi guys, so ive decided to downgrade by desktop size, whilst upgrading its performance. I have kind of gotten fed up of carrying around a full sized atx tower to LAN party's and would like to build myself a Mini-ITX desktop to replace it.
I have a $1850 AUD budget, more if i can sell my old pc for more than $1500. This is what i was thinking of, I would like it to have a green or black theme and to have carrying handles on the case. Could you guys please confirm that these parts will fit together (never built mini-itx before). Thanks guys, All parts will be purchased from PC Case Gear. Alternative systems welcomed. Thanks guys. Will be used for gaming at 1080p.
Note: PC Case Gear does a green version of the case.
