Just sold my PC and I'm ready to build a new one in the next couple weeks or so.
It's going to be my primary computer mainly used for gaming, backing up other computers to (4), some moderate photo and video editing, and other general use like web browsing and Netflix bingeing.
I have Amazon Prime and Newegg Premier as well as a local TigerDirect so those are my preferred vendors though I don't really care that much about where I get the parts.
I'm only going to be on 1080p for now, and I wanted to try my hand at configuring and building a MITX PC instead of the full or mid ATX towers I'm used to. I prefer Intel for CPU's, GPU brand doesn't matter, and if I can squeeze in an optical drive that would be nice because I do use one on a weekly if not daily basis.
That said, here's what I have so far, let me know what you think and if you have a better solution for a MITX build. Also, I'd like to use the Maximus VII Impact instead of the VI Impact but that's not on sale yet and thus not on PC part picker.
