Going to be building a beastly PC for 600 pounds but I want to take it to LANs so I have chosen to build it in a mini itx case!! I will be gaming on future/current games like BF Hardline, GTA V, FarCry 4, GMOD, CsGo, TitanFall etc and I will be using programs such as Cinema 4D, Photoshop, Sony Vegas , After Effects, Elgato Game Capture Software and I will be streaming alot as well!! Looking forward to seeing the builds!! :) :D
