I'm looking to build a small form factor PC to use in the dining room.
I wanted to build a PC instead of buying a console because I don't want to pay fees for playing online. I also want to utilise my steam/origin/uplay accounts.
It will be used for gaming primarily and for streaming movies on to a 42" 1080P LED.
My son wants to play Minecraft and a few other kids games.
My end goal is being able to play Battlefield 1 from the dining table with a wireless KB and mouse. I have bought a couple of wireless Xbox One controllers to use on this PC.
I'm trying to keep the prices down, here's what I'm thinking:
Intel Pentium G4560
A̶S̶R̶o̶c̶k̶ H̶1̶1̶0̶M̶-̶I̶T̶X̶ (̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ n̶e̶w̶e̶g̶g̶)̶ I̶'̶m̶ h̶o̶p̶i̶n̶g̶ t̶h̶e̶ B̶I̶O̶s̶ i̶s̶ u̶p̶d̶a̶t̶e̶d̶ t̶o̶ a̶c̶c̶o̶m̶m̶o̶d̶a̶t̶e̶ K̶a̶b̶y̶ L̶a̶k̶e̶ MSI B250I Pro Mini ITX
CPU cooler (won't have the money for liquid so probably just a budget box cooler)
MSI GTX 1050 2GB OC
Crucial DDR4 2133 2x4GB
HDD & SSD (I have a couple of 120GB SSD's lying around and plenty of spare 2.5" HDD's)
I have a Silverstone 500W 80+ PSU pulled from another HTPC
Silverstone Raven RVZ01-E case
I will use all three 120mm fan slots, cooling might be a concern?
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Dan.
P.S I am in New Zealand so the prices of components will differ from other countries.
