Mini ITX Build

[circusslaughter]

I have the Haswell build post and my budget was $600. Well I have a $1000 budget now to build a computer with this tower:

I am building 1st week of October.

Is this compatible?

Lian Li PC-CK101L Mini ITX Case

Seagate 1TB solid state hybrid drive

Intel Black slim DVD drive

Intel i5-4670 Haswell

HIS 7850 2GB graphics card

ASRock B85M-ITX motherboard

Patriot Intel Extreme Masters 8GB DDR3 1866 RAM

Windows 7 Home Premium OS

I assume your answers to the standard questions from [thread=2340988]your previous thread[/thread] still apply?

Normally I don't criticize cases, but...you have a $1000 budget, but you're spending (at least) $300 of that on a case that looks and moves like a train? A case that has only one HDD slot, so that you're forced to get a hybrid drive instead of having a dedicated SSD? A case that does not appear to have space for a graphics card, and even if it did, comes with a PSU so underpowered that you couldn't use one? I think you need to look for a different case.

Somehow, I tend to agree with ken g6. But I can't quite put my finger on it...

Did you have to create another thread for this too?

I don't really care for the train thing. However, if the object is to not do any gaming on a video card, then maybe you could try using something like a Thin Mini-ITX with a Mini PCIE slot and put a SSD in it. These types of motherboards are a little underpowered but any computer built with the train case will have some kind of limitations. Also some of the ITX motherboards that Gigabyte sells have a wireless card but alternatively they may be fully capable of using a MSATA hard drive (SSD) instead.

Is your goal best performance/dollar?

If so, I don't think you need anyone to tell you that dropping almost 1/3 of your budget on a case is suboptimal.

I decided to just use that as a low budget computer that I could do light task on and watch movies.

Cost around $300 for case and $300 for parts.

I don't see how that's possible unless you're reusing a good number of parts. Which ones?
