Hey all, first post here. I'm about to buy these parts and I wanted ask and see if everything works together. This is my first build. I've been researching for months now and that work has led me here to Tom's repeatedly where you folks are very helpful.
First off I just want to say how refreshing and comforting it is to see a community that gets along so well. I know, sappy, I just wanted to compliment everyone who helps keep the peace here.
For the build, do you see any glaring incompatibilities? Are any of these parts overkill or have a cost efficient equivalent? I am going for a quiet SFF LAN box, OC would be nice if it doesn't get too hot but I'd rather have it small than OC it. I'd like to game on max settings, things like Team Fortress 2, Titanfall, WoW, newer games, with some photoshop, maybe FL studio or play movies off it, and general pc stuff in mind, while staying as portable as possible.
Would 8gb RAM be enough to manage that? Or should I get 16? And do you think this setup would all fit in a Lian Li PC-TU200 case without overheating? I am willing to drill out vent holes on the bottom of case if I need to. I am open to suggestions (The case is the only thing I'm kinda stuck to, I love the handle). Thanks for your time!
Approximate Purchase Date: Within weeks.
Budget Range: $1000-$1500ish
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming/Mild Workstation/HTPC (willing to omit)/General use
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, No Fry's nearby :[
Country: U.S, Alaska. Ambient air temps are rarely hot.
Overclocking: No/Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Additional Comments: Going for powerful, low temp, small and portable.
