I have no idea what I'm doing in terms of picking good parts and making a build that works so I am requesting some help for a mini ITX gaming build. I have done a pcpartpicker build without a power supply because...I'm not sure which one is the best. It's ok if it goes over budget a little bit, I work at best buy.
Approximate Purchase Date: within two months
Budget Range: 1400 after rebates/after shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Multi-tasking, gaming, websurfing, web watching.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Open
Location: Fairfax, Virginia
Parts Preferences: Intel Asus and Nvidia are my favorites but not having them isnt a big deal.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe?
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080p, not interested in 4k or 2k as of right now or in the near future.
Additional Comments: Would like a quiet PC with good cooling, small form factor (such as Mini ITX).
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: I have a laptop for school and recently bought (but returned) a gaming laptop, loved it but it was a terrible value so I am looking for a small form desktop (small room).
