The AMD eight-core CPU was chosen as a cheaper alternative to the Intel Core i7-4770K for gaming on a budget. This is for those who want optimal raw performance on next-generation games which are optimized for eight cores. Paired with a GTX 780 3 GB video card, this rig packs a killer punch in a small package without breaking the bank.

This Intel-based MicroATX gaming system packs a lot of gaming performance into a small package. The CPU can easily be overclocked with the liquid CPU cooler. The system also includes 8GB of RAM, a high-end GPU for great gaming performance at the highest graphic detail, and a high quality PSU for a stable system. Since the liquid cooler comes with a 120mm fan, the existing 120mm rear fan can be moved to the side panel to cool the motherboard.

This case is a great alternative to the BitFenix Prodigy M, where it supports both ITX and MicroATX boards. Because we're limited to just Amazon and Newegg, only the black was available on Amazon. Other colors they have are gold, red, orange, and white.

I think PCPartPicker might be wrong here on the case. I couldn't find any documentation about replacing the PSU. Also I can't fathom that all this will fit in it.

Set memory timings to 7-7-7-21, as this motherboard doesn't OC.
May have to upgrade power supply, just built a slightly lesser spec system (1230v3, 760 2GB) that hits 280W at the wall.
