Looks good so far. Maybe you should drop the cpu cooler and get another 4gb ram stick. The boxed cooler will do if you dont overclock like immediately and you can get an additional cpu cooler later.

That's what I was thinking of doing. I wasn't sure about the cooling so I just went the safe way. Will the 270 be able to play minecraft and LoL at max?

flamefire999 :

The 270 will be fine for gaming. Minecraft and lol should be no problem. And if neccessary you stil can upgrade your gpu/cpu in a couple of years if it doesnt fit your needs anymore

I was hoping to crossfire the 270's eventually. Would that be worth it?

SchuIIe · Oct 20, 2014

flamefire999 :

I would always prefer a strong single gpu over crossfire/sli. You will get a performance boost but with all the disadvantages of dual gpu setups too. Like micro stutter, heat, noise etc. If you got a limited budget now, go with the 270. it will be enough for the next 2 years on mid-high settings and if you feel the urge to upgrade then do so

Probably not. Upgrading to a single more powerful card would be a better choice.

That being said, interested in a mITX build?

The i3 would be a better choice for the games you play.

Now that's awesome

Although the case I posted can fit normal sized 970s as well. I wonder what the mini 970s are going to retail for.

SchuIIe :

I just ordered it and I got next day shipping or overnight shipping. I'm kind of regretting that decision. I spent over $150 on the shipping.

RazerZ · Oct 20, 2014

Ouch. Too late to cancel?

I don't know about you but I would definitely save $150+ and wait a week or so for everything to come in with free shipping.

RazerZ :

I don't have a computer right now. I'm using my friends laptop for now. I need one asap because I work from home and my laptop broke so I have no computer. I am also almost out of vacation days.

RazerZ · Oct 21, 2014

Ah I see. Well let us know how the build goes and some pics would be nice

flamefire999 · Oct 23, 2014

*Update* I was able to cancel the next day shipping for newegg so I was able to save about $80 of that $150. The other parts came in today.

RazerZ · Oct 23, 2014

Must feel like Christmas with all the parts coming in haha. My Intuos just came in today as well.
