Powerful miniITX PC

[Franziskaner]

one thing, I hope you don't intend to put it "in the typical built-in cabinet without ventilation" if that's not the case I would think about the "typical tower" and if the idea is "the built-in" :facepalm: as if not.

No, no, it's going to be in the open air. :wall:

Well, following your advice... right now this is the configuration that I see that convinces me:

Gigabyte Z77N-WIFI
CPU Intel Core i5-3570K
Cooler Master Elite 120 Advance (mini-ITX)
Kingston HyperX (Kit 2) 8Gb PC1600 CL9 KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX
Gigabyte GV-N660OC-2GD GDDR5 2Gb
Samsung 840 SSD Series 120GB SATA3 Basic Kit
I have a good power supply that I bought not long ago. ¿Qué os parece? I've been reading a little about Haswell processors... is it worth waiting a bit? In some places they are already starting to sell... would the motherboard be suitable for them in the future? There's nothing mentioned in the list of supported micros... but they have just come out... The new Haswell i5 processors would be the i5 4430 i5 4570 i5 4670 ...but I can't find a decent comparison with the previous ones to see if they improve a lot.

Thanks and regards.

Overclock?

@kondor:

Brand and model?

@kondor:

I won't get any new processors until autumn, I'm not anyone's guinea pig...

@kondor:

They are already starting to sell in some places

Which ones?

@kondor:

...but I can't find a decent comparison with the previous ones to see if they improve much

Logical, the real comparisons will come when they start to be marketed

@G0D1N0:

¿Overclock?

The power supply is a Thermaltake LP-700AL2NH, I imagine it will be enough to move a single graphics card…, now I have two Nvidia 9600 in sli with it...

@G0D1N0:

¿En cuales?

Logically, the real comparisons will come when they start to be marketed

INTEL CORE I5 4670 3.40GHZ 1150 BOX :: APPInformatica.com ::

And in some foreign store I also saw something…, now maybe they have it but without stock, if you say that they are not yet on the market...

Anyway, I'm not going to wait much longer..., I'll give it a couple more spins..., but I think the little equipment is pretty good..., not being any bomb but to hold out for a few years..., and above all, to get rid of the CoolerMaster stacker that I have now..., which doesn't open a bed that I'll need, because of that huge tower... hehe, besides the fact that this equipment is already a few years old and apart from Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2..., it doesn't move anything else. xDD

By the way, another thing…, I was thinking of leaving it with the stock cooler for now and not doing OC for the time being..., but a cooler that fits in that case and that allows me to play a bit with the multiplier without going too far over budget if possible...

Thanks

Without a doubt it is better that you wait a little and buy for Haswell, it has a new socket so it is not compatible, you will have a small improvement in performance and the price will be similar. The opportunity is a second-hand market where people usually get rid of the previous ones as soon as new ones come out. If you are not going to do OC you can always leave the one that comes with the CPU which is not bad.

[kondor]

Well, the repair is done already…, hehe. In the end I was a bit in a hurry and the Haswell seems to still take a little while, and more the miniITX decent boards..., so naa..., this is how the little guy turned out, waiting for them to deliver it:

Case: Cooloer Master Elite 120
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z77n
CPU: I5 3570K
Ram: 2x4Gb Kingston Hyperx 1600
Hard Drive: Samsung 840 120Gb (following G0D1N0's recommendations)
Graphics: Gigabyte GV-N660OC-2GD (following G0D1N0's recommendations)

In the end I changed Ati for Nvidia and I preferred to get the K CPU so I can play a bit with the OC.

Can this graphics card be overclocked a bit more with the stock fan?

Thanks a lot for your comments..., I'll let you know how the little guy is doing when I have it ready and I'll put up some pictures.

Regards.

I don't know why you would want to upload the graphic (for now):troll: but I can assure you that it is very fresh and silent. It comes with the OC guru so you can tinker to your heart's content.
I don't know where I read (big lie:troll: I do know where and from whom) a comparison of the 660 in SLI and it was impressive, it ate a 580 for breakfast

[kondor]

No, for the moment I won't need oc of course jeje, but to have the possibility to be able to play a little tomorrow or do some bench to see what I can get.
I hadn't updated the pc for a while and I'm already eager to try it out.

Saludos.

for what it costs, that graphic is a treat to enjoy
