Opinions? BTW, I want to stick with Mini-ITX.

What's your budget? I would go with a XFX TS 550W PSU instead and maybe a better GPU if your budget allows.

Scizor119 · Oct 21, 2014

Yeah, I was thinking a 750, and I want to paint my componenets so, preferably all black cooler. Or with yellow. And I want to go Nvidia for Shield.

ImDaBaron · Oct 21, 2014

Can you do a 750ti? That's a pretty good match with the G3258

Scizor119 · Oct 21, 2014

To be honest, I don't really need more than a 750. I already have a pretty decent build with an MSI gaming OC R9280,. I just want somethig that'll play BF4 on medium settings at around 30fps. Thats not much, but it's good enough for me.

ImDaBaron · Oct 21, 2014

Yeah you'll be fine then. I was just mentioning it because it's been on sale quite a bit lately. But a 750 plus a good XFX TS power supply and you'll be good. That's a good build for the money.

Toms got very limited OCing on the pentium with an H81 board . I think they only got 4.1 Ghz

Maybe the Asrock anniversary series would be better choices if you want to hit higher clocks
