Parentnoia Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Since Christmas is just around the corner, I've been working on a bit of a wishlist in the form of building my first computer by myself. Its not going to be big considering that space is an issue. Now, having never built my own before, I was wondering if some insight could be given on the equipment I've pieced together. Case: APEX MI-008 Black Steel Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case 250W Power Supply Motherboard: ASRock A75M-ITX FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX AMD Motherboard CPU: AMD A8-3870K Unlocked Llano 3.0GHz Socket FM1 100W Quad-Core Desktop APU (CPU + GPU) with DirectX 11 Graphic AMD Radeon HD 6550D AD3870WNGXBOX RAM: CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model CMV4GX3M2A1333C9 HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive Blu-Ray: ASUS Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 8X BD-ROM 8MB Cache SATA Blu-ray Burner BW-12B1ST/BLK/G/AS Am I forgetting anything? 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet. Look at "hate" spelled backwards. It spells "e-tah." For example, if you hate me you can e-tah dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxim Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 You'll need a processor and a few other things to get that parts list complete. What you get really depends on what you plan on using this thing for. Is it for basic stuff (Facebook, e-mail, iTunes, etc.)? Maybe you want to try your hand at editing some photos? Do you want to be able to play games? Mainstream stuff like Diablo, Starcraft, DiRT? Hardcore stuff like Battlefield or Crysis? You're off to a good start but the last few components will really depend on what your intended uses are. wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parentnoia Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well crap... I have a CPU with integrated GPU picked out but I forgot to list it. I'm on mobile right now so when I have access to my computer, I'll post it up. I intend on using it mainly as a HTPC with a side of gaming. 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet.

Maxim Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 It should serve nicely as an HTPC and will definitely handle some mainstream games at low/medium settings. Looks like it'll be a great little box for what you're using it for. wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder.

BobbyG2 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Shit, they're integrating graphics cards into processors now? Looks good, you could pull the plug and buy it now if you want. Make sure that when you add the CPU and Motherboard to your cart you take advantage of their combo deal together. EDIT: For some reason, Newegg will only let you purchase that case if you get that combo deal with that super expensive Keyboard? Weird... Here's another similar case: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811147131 Not a bad computer for $418.94! *New vehicle and system coming soon.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parentnoia Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Back on this train of thought, but now it's a little more obtainable considering that I already throw out the idea to my old lady and did not get shot down mid-sentence.CPU: AMD A6-5400K 3.6GHz Dual-Core ProcessorCPU Cooler: Corsair H105 73.0 CFM Liquid CPU CoolerMotherboard: ASRock FM2A88X-ITX+ Mini ITX FM2+ MotherboardMemory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 MemoryStorage: Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB 2.5" Solid State DiskCase: Corsair 250D Mini ITX Tower CasePower Supply: Corsair Builder 430W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power SupplyOptical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet.

beaker Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 If you're trying to go small I'd go with this little guy, especially since you're doing water cooling. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-case-nse200kkn1 I also hate AMD, but it all honesty unless you're an ultra power user, its not going to make a difference. Kingston does not make good SSD Drives, or RAM. If you want something reliable, get an Intel or a Crucial SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
