Hi TH.

It's me, Fel. I am a perfectionist, I also prefer form over function, and I want to get the best I could whenever I can.

It would be a novel if I state all my reason for the build, so I will just show the factors.
a. Aesthetics - most important.
b. Performance - important.
c. Efficiency - important.
d. Reasonability - important.

First Plan
AMD A10-7850k | Gigabyte F2A88XN-WiFi | Corsair Vengeance Pro 1600MHz | WD Caviar Blue | BitFenix Phenom Mini | Seasonic G550 -- Gigabyte R9 270x

Current Plan
Intel Pentium G3258 | Gigabyte/MSI Z97 ITX MoBo | Kingston HyperX Fury 1600MHz | WD Caviar Blue | Silver Stone SG06 | Silver Stone SFX 450w -- EVGA GTX 660 TI

I am open for any comments, recommendations, suggestions or anything that would help you guys help me, wait what?


Any help will be much appreciated :)

If mITX is what you are going for, then Intel is your only way to go.

The H97 + I3 will be considerably better than a Pentium + Z97.

As for branding, don't worry about that, of of those mentioned are decent, get the cheapest one with the features you need.

@Deathraider.
For the GPU, I did some research and knew that the 660 Ti beats the 270x in most titles, is it necessary? If it is, I would consider the GPU and do some more research.

As for the PSU, I know it is great ( tier 2a ), but it won't fit in the case. I would like to make the build as portable as possible.

Thanks for the response :)

@hoax187.
Well it is because the dGPU is an upgrade, not a primary part. That is also why I put a 1600MHz RAM in an APU Plan, I know I can't Hybrid xFire the iGPU and dGPU no matter how fast RAM I use.

There is no AM3+ Board at the moment :(

Thanks for the response :)

@Novuake.
There is no H81 ITX Board available, however I could use an H97 ITX Board, I just don't know which brand is better ( ASRock, Gigabyte, MSI ), and pair it with an i3-41xx. Will it perform better than the Pentium? ( Honestly I don't want to overclock, unless the warranty is already over )
Is the GPU good for an i3-41xx?

As for the AMD Build, it's not like I don't want it. I just want to have a tiny PC for portability.

Thanks for the response :)

The ASRock is the cheapest and has the latest audio something ( dunno what it is called ), but I think I will get the Gigabyte because of the black i/o shield.

Hey.

I found an MSI GTX 760 with a blower-style cooler, I am not sure which to get.

EVGA 660 Ti SC 2GB
- More aesthetics point from me.
- Cheaper.

MSI 760 2GB
- Newer architecture.

Which one should I get?

Thanks in advance :)
