Jak 1,381 Posted February 12, 2019 I'm planning on building a tiny gaming PC in the case below so that I can get everything I need into something that fits onto my small desk and looks good: https://www.lazer3d.com/product/cg7-cravo/ Things I've got sorted are: CPU: Intel i5-8600K (in current build) RAM: 16GB DDR4 2400MHz (in current build) Storage: M.2 PCIe SSD, 250GB + 250GB SATA SSD 2.5" + 2TB Firecuda SSHD 2.5" (in current build) Cooling: Noctua NH-L12S GFX: Some variety of mini GTX 1070 Things I could do with help with: Finding a Mini ITX motherboard with 1191 socket that has M.2 PCIe storage space, PCIe slot for GFX card, and connectors for 2 other hard drives Knowing whether a 350W TFX PSU will have enough juice to power everything Do I need more cooling? If so I can put 2 92mm slim fans in Anyone got any ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post

Quinn 643 Posted February 13, 2019 i5-8600k is overkill with a 1070 you should get i5-8400, unless you're gonna be doing cpu intensive things Quote Share this post Link to post

I already have the cpu in my current build, not going to get rid of it to buy a shitter model, the only reason I’m going 1070 is because 1080 minis are too expensive to justify.

Oldmike 369 Posted February 13, 2019 @Jak Check out Shuttles, might be something for you too. Got one myself Quote Share this post Link to post
Jak 1,381 Posted February 13, 2019 @Oldmike I like the Shuttle PCs but I already have most parts and need a dedicated gpu so they don't fit the bill for this project. If/when I move somewhere bigger though I want to have something similar for a media centre. Quote Share this post Link to post
w33zy 1,523 Posted February 13, 2019 Looks cool jak but i dont think i can help you. goodluck tough and i would like to see pictures as Work in progress. Quote Share this post Link to post

It fits a full sized gpu aswell, got a 1070 in it currently. Quote Share this post Link to post

M1nt-l0u 1,235 Posted February 14, 2019 I build around the budget - the single most important aspect of PC building for me. Get me a price and I'll get you a list of the best value parts for it. 1 Jak reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

I mean it would prob work but I'd go for 400W to cover yourself. Edited February 14, 2019 by Mintlou 1 Jak reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post

I mean it would prob work but I'd go for 400W to cover yourself. Yes I do, no idea why/how I put a 9 in there. Thanks loads for that Asus link. I don’t really have a budget as such, I guess no more than £150 on a mobo but not tied down. Obviously cheaper is better, and my only real requirements are M.2 storage space, 4+USB ports, and basic audio I/O; I am Ethernet connected and don’t give a shit about Bluetooth, and I’ll likely get a decent DAC down the road so no need for a “good” soundcard. Whats the website you used for wattage? I’m struggling to actually find a TFX psu over 350 so that might be the max. Quote Share this post Link to post
M1nt-l0u 1,235 Posted February 14, 2019 Used this one: http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/ Although I reckon it is the GPU that is tipping it over. There isn't an option that I could see to specify the compact versions of the 1070, although the clocks & voltage can be tuned. Quote Share this post Link to post
