My Mini Lan PC

[pivotax]

Hi, i want your guys opinion on my Mini Lan PC

specs:


Case: Silverstone SG07 (Comes with 600w PSU)
GPU: Radeon HD5970
Motherboard: Zotac H55-ITX WiFi LGA1156
CPU: Intel i7 930
RAM: 8GB DDR3 (2 x 4GB)
Hard Drive: 2TB Green Caviar 7,200RPM
DVD-Optical: 24X Samsung

Im going to be running this on a FULL HD 20" monitor

 

[gkay09]

^ the i7 9xx is a socket 1366 and wont fit that board - socket 1156...
You would need i5 7xx or i7 8xx CPUs...

And HDD - 2TB Green ? No boot drive ?

 

[pivotax]

Ahh yes
CPU: i7 860
HDD1: 2TB Green
HDD2: 60GB SSD

 

[gkay09]

^ Hmm maybe the i7 870 for just $5 more ?
Also you should know that this build is kinda overkill, but if you are fine with it, then its ok...

BTW i am expecting to be able to play the following games in full hd and min 20/25 fps

GTA IV
Dirt 2
MW2
BFBC2
Mafia II

 

[gkay09]

Are you fine with a mATX desktop build, maybe with a case like this ?

[gkay09]

And budget?

 

[gkay09]

If you want to bring down the price, then you would have to do these changes
CPU - i5 760 - This is also very good for gaming and performs better than the AMD X4 965...

SSD- You would have to drop the plan for now...You wont notice any in-game performance increase too, though would reduce boot time and load time...

HDD - Get the Samsung F3 1TB for now...

Graphcis card - HD 5870.

 

[Mr Pizza]

^ or gtx 460 :/

 

[pivotax]

And budget?

I live in norway, so its hard to say my budget, but it all together cost 9800 Norwegian Kroner
about the same as 1300-1500usd

 

[gkay09]

Hmm...Any online store links ?

 

[pivotax]

is Norwegian links ok ?

 

[Mr Pizza]

USA would be preferred.. www.newegg.com its really an easy site to navigate, type in anything in the search and bop! it there

 

[gkay09]

^^ Yes Norwegian would be good as we can calculate the total too...

NVM, i foundout that was the cheapest version of the 470 GTX
so im stuck with the LAST thing: What 470?


470GTX from ASUS
470GTX from EVGA
470GTX from Gainward
470GTX from Zotac

 

[Mr Pizza]

Asus, EVGA, Zotac, NOT GAINWARD

EVGA = Best

[gkay09]

^ I would suggest this card over any other GTX 470,...
Yeah it costs more, but well worth it if you are fine with the premium...
- Factory overclocked
- Consumes less power than the stock GTX 470 even though it is overclocked
- Temps are also less
- Sound levels far lower...

[pivotax]

Ok, so all the specs i wrote are fine, but i get the Gigabyte n470SO-13I instead of the eVGA 470 GTX? is the gigabyte better than the eVGA? just wanna be 100% sure

 

[gkay09]

^ Generally EVGA cards are better, but this one is you can say an exception. Also in US EVGA is preferred because of the Lifetime warranty...
