6th gen Mini itx gaming pc

ls-j · May 7, 2016

Hi,
I'm hoping to build a pc in September time so could really do with some impartial advice rather than the biased info my friends are giving me from their preferences. (v. Expensive).
I'm hoping to build a 6th gen mini itx gaming pc within a bitfenix phenom case. Aside from that, nothing has been decided.
Budget isn't really too much of an issue but I don't want to spend a fortune on stuff that would be overkill.
My requirements are that it runs most games on high at 60fps plus, especially the likes of battlefield (with the announcement of battlefield 1).
I was wondering what would be capable of doing this and how much would it cost?
Thanks in advance

Here is something that would do nicely, all you would need to do is purchase a new GPU (either Pascal or Polaris when it comes out) and this machine will crush games.

- It also has 16GB RAM incase you decide to do any VR stuff.
- Added a CPU cooler even though the CPU is locked simply for quieter computing, you can remove it and save some money if noise isn't an issue.
- 3 fans extra as you can toss out the included fans, add the 2 120mm fans for front intake and the 140mm as rear exhaust with the 212 fan pushing the air to the back of the case
- SSD for OS+Programs, HDD for games+storage
