Small form factor PC 350 dollar budget.

Nonpossible · Oct 9, 2017

Any thoughts on this? I'm trying to leave future room for another 8Gb of RAM and maybe a GT 1030 for very light games. My budget was 350 but if you can shave more off let me know!
Also I'm skeptical of any case that comes with a PSU although technically 350W should be enough for a GT 1030.

EDIT: I forgot to add that I already have a WD Caviar Blue 1TB for the OS and will likely get an SSD in the future as well. But it's not needed for the initial build.

vapour :

That case is not very good, and I strongly suggest against integrated psu. That mb needs bios update which requires a different PSU. Get this instead:

For your budget, run win 10 as trial, same functionality except personalized setting.

Thanks! I was skeptical of the integrated PSU. I just needed someone to talk me out of it. I did like the case for it's small size though.

Pick any mid ATX/ micro ATX you want

Someone suggested micro ATX inside ATX case is weird, but I am doing it, check my build
