Mini ITX Build

Tjster123 · May 21, 2014

Hi after the success of my first build i am now planning a build for my brothers birthday present. He wants a pc to do school work and play games such as mine craft.

I've put together a parts list, could someone look over it and make sure everything is all ok. Please say whether the Mobo would need a bios update or not?

your build is good

i would go for better PSU http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1450sx2b9
fyi, prodigy favors non-modular psu

like amd radeon said i'd go for a better psu ( the one he suggested ) and get a gpu+cpu instead of an apu

SSD - Changed to a 120GB M500.
PSU - Stick with XFX, Seasonic or Antec.
MEM - No need for faster modules. The ones below are low latency and will perform just the same.
CASE - Just for the sake of options, the Elite 130 will be a bit smaller...
CPU COOLER - Not exactly sure, but the 212 EVO may not be the greatest fit in the Prodigy.
