Hi everyone,

I've had a change of heart about my previously proposed mATX build, and am switching it out to a mITX one.

Here are the details:
*Location: Singapore (room temp 25-29 celsius)
*Usage: Coding, surfing, movies, occasional gaming
*No overclocking
*Monitors: 3 x 1050p
*Budget: ~$1.5k (not a hard budget)
*Timeline: Nov 2015

Here's my build
1. cpu: i5-6600
2. mobo: gigabyte GA-H170N-WIFI
3. case: thermaltake core v1
4. ram: 2 x 8gb kingston ddr4 2133mhz cl15
5. ssd: 250gb samsung 950 pro
6. hdd: 2 x 4gb hgst deskstar in RAID1
7. gpu: integrated, for now
8. psu: seasonic g-series 650w (will buy a gpu at some point)
9. cooling: cooler master hyper 103
10. o/s: linux mint (might dual boot windows)

let me know if you think this looks good.

thanks.

Yeah, that looks really good! :thumbsup:

That's probably what I should be building; instead I'm trying to cram everything into a Silverstone SG-05. Haven't built anything yet, so I might switch to something like this. :hmm:
