Best ITX case.

Juan_30 · Jul 18, 2016

Hi,

I am building my own rig and I want to know what is the best itx case that can fit a low profile video card. I am thinking to buy:

Antec ISK 310-150 Black Mini-ITX Desktop Computer Case 150 Watt Power Supply

With this internals:
EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 64bit DVI/HDMI/VGA Low Profile Graphics Card 02G-P3-3733-KR

ASRock Motherboard Mini ATX DDR4 LGA 1151 H110M-ITX b

What do you think?

Major issue you're going to run in to there is power requirements for the GPU. Card states it needs a min of 300w power supply and the case only supplies 150w. The case you picked out is really intended for a computer running integrated graphics.

What are you looking to do with the build, and what kind of budget do you have for it?

*Edit
Quick search through Newegg and Partpicker have some higher wattage units with a similar form factor to what you're looking for in roughly the same price range.

Hi, I have $500 for the box.

I want 3200 DDR4 memory, 240+ SSD and an itx case that is as small as p ossibly.

Here's a build with a slightly larger case, but it allows you to put a normal sized PSU in to it, so you can get a known quality part.

Here's a build with case with the PSU included, that meets the min requirements of the GPU. Case is more in line with what you had in you're original post. No idea on the quality of the PSU in this instance.

Nice looking case, but you'll still need to provide your own PSU for it. Should fit everything you want just fine.

What about this power supply?

Juan_30 :

You can, but really not needed. The case you linked will work with a standard sized PSU so no need to pay more for an ITX specific PSU.

I'd go with that case you like and stick with the PSU I suggested.
