Guys
Will someone be please be kind enough to advise me on which motherboard and Intel Ivy Bridge processor I should buy for this case?
Here's what I want to achieve:
- A small desktop PC that actually fits on the desk
- Has to be quiet and efficient (being quiet is extremely important)
- Has to be powerful enough to carry out day to day taks such as browsing, photoshop etc. I have no desire to install any third party gfx cards at this point in time as I will not be playing games etc so it is important that the built in graphics of the motherboard (and also CPU?) is very important.
I'm thinking something like this:
- FT03 Mini Case
- Gigabyte Motherboard GA-H77N-WIFI mini-ITX Socket 1155 DDR3 (a good choice?)
- Intel Ivy Bridge CPU (needs to be efficient and runs cool but also has to have some grunt)
- 8 Gig DDR3 RAM (1600 Mhz)?
- Corsair H60 (or shall I go for H80 and do away with the DVD drive?)
- SilverStone Modular 450W PSU (is there anything else much better on the market?)
I want to order the kit asap so would really appreciate some feedback and advice before I do.
