Hello everybody, so I am building a mid range gaming rig for about 560$+-. Though I live in Lithuania, here prices are a little bit different, so it is better if parts were under 500$. I was thinking of a mATX build, an alternative to PS4 (smaller than regular pc, so it would fit in a shelve)
But if this is a problem, then it can be a normal sized build..

So far i tried searching the parts myself, but i would like to hear some advice, any changes.

I was choosing between 750 ti and r7 265. I don't know if i should sacrifice performance for temperature, heat in the case.

Sacrifice the performance for the temperature because you have a small form factor case and in tight enclosures everything is more tightly packed so it's best to keep the temperature down. If you don't mind it loudish you can go into the graphics card tuning software if you have it and you can turn up the fan speed to keep the temperature down
