I'm trying to build a cheap, small, gaming pc. Here are my components.
SILVERSTONE Sugo Series SG05BB-450
ASUS P8H61-I (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel H61 HDMI USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i3-2120
EVGA SuperClocked 01G-P3-1567-KR GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Thermaltake Slim X3 CLP0534 80mm CPU Cooler
LITE-ON CD/DVD Burner(Slot-load) 8X DVD R 8X DVD RW 6X DVD R DL 8X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 8X DVD-ROM 24X CD-R 24X CD-RW 24X CD-ROM SATA Model DC-8A2SH - OEM
Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EARS 1TB 5400 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL
StarTech SLSATAADAP Female Slimline SATA to SATA Adapter with Power
And a 120gb SSD i have from a previous build.
My questions are...
1) Is the 450 PSU enough for the 560?
2) Will the i3 be a bottleneck?
3) Is it possible to go cheaper? Right now i'm at about $822 from newegg (including year replacement policy)
This has to be a small system, because i'm going to take it with me to South Korea, where there isn't that much space. I decided against a laptop, because they cost more, and it seems every year or 2 you need a new one.
