Hi everyone hows things going? I need some help on this build. Here is what i'm looking at. I would like to build a powerful Mini-ITX rig for WCG/Other as listed below and was hoping i could get some ideas from you guys on parts. I am open to all ideas but it must be Mini-ITX. Thanks in advance. :bounce:

APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: ASAP BUDGET RANGE: None

SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: WCG Video, Encoding, Photo Editing, Gaming, Surfing and Internet use.

PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, Speakers or OS

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg.com

PARTS PREFERENCES: Please suggest higher end parts no budget parts. Otherwise colors and looks must match and look good when completed.

OVERCLOCKING: Yes

MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1200 ASUS LCD

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:I can mod if needed but would like to keep it simple for now. Very important that it puts out very high PPD for WCG.

Thanks for the help The Crazy Female Modder ;)

Mobo
GIGABYTE GA-H55N-USB3 - IMO best feature rich Mini-ITX...

CPU - Maybe this combo with i7 875K?

Or i7 860 or i5 750...

Memory
Mushkin Enhanced Ridgeback 4GB DDR3

Graphics ??
Maybe these ? anything higher would push the 300W PSU...

HD 5750

Reason I chose these cards specifically is for the aftermarket closed cooler type...as for such small cases, it is better to have hot air blowing out...

HDD - Samsung F3 1TB Or a SSD would be good...
