    MSI GTX760 into SG05 case?

    I ended up getting the EVGA GTX760 Superclocked version instead which is 9.5" in length (instead of 10.24"). When I am assembling my mini-ITX machine in the Silverstone SG05 case, should I install the graphics card LAST?

    MSI GTX760 into SG05 case?

    The MSI GTX760 just came out. My question is -- will it fit the Silverstone SG05 case? The case is designed to accommodate up to 10" cards and this one runs 260x126x38 mm (that's a length of 10.24 inches). I know the SG05 has been discussed on this forum before, but I'm unsure as there are...

    Mini ITX Custom Gaming PC

    thank you, perfect! Is a 450W power supply adequate for a gaming rig with a GTX 760 and Haswell CPU? I always thought 500-600W was safer, but I may be wrong.

    Mini ITX Custom Gaming PC

    I have a new build I'd appreciate your feedback on. This time it's truly ITX since I think it's a better idea given my travel plans (also, I'm not intersted in overclocking). My main concern is whether all of these components are compatible and will fit properly in the case. From newegg, this...

    Mini ITX Custom Gaming PC

    If I were to go with mini-ITX, would I have to have make compromises about horsepower, like not being able to fit a full-length video card?

    Mini ITX Custom Gaming PC

    I've thought about your suggestion, Skillz, but it's a pain to diassemble a PC and re-assemble and I still have to ship the case which costs $50-75. It seems to me, if I'm not mistaken, that the mATX form factor allows one to have all the horsepower of a high-end gaming pc (full-length video...

    Mini ITX Custom Gaming PC

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I'll look into getting an improved video card if possible. @Speedy, the reason I'm going to build a mATX case is that I will probably be moving cities at least one time, and perhaps twice, in the next few years, and I don't want to ship my computer because it has...

    Mini ITX Custom Gaming PC

    Thanks for the ideas. I would like to be able to play Company of Heroes 2, Battlfield 3, Skyrim, and such on high settings. I imagine the video card is going to do most of the work, but I don't want to cut too many corners on CPU and RAM if it will matter; if it won't, then I'll go cheaper...

    Mini ITX Custom Gaming PC

    Would it be ok if I used this motherboard instead? It's cheaper but a brand I'm less familiar with. ASRock H87M Pro4 LGA 1150

    Mini ITX Custom Gaming PC

    Thanks -- I only want to reduce costs if I'm wasting money given my goal of building a gaming pc that can handle new games. So I guess there are two questions: will this rig handle new games well like Battlefield 3 and Skyrim on high settings? And, secondly, can I cut costs and still play these...

    Mini ITX Custom Gaming PC

    Thanks for your suggestion. As far as the case, I'm ok with the LIANLI PC-V354B in terms of its size so mATX is ok!

    Mini ITX Custom Gaming PC

    Hello fellow enthusiasts, I'm building a custom gaming rig to take as carry-on luggage on planes from time to time to play high-end games. This build from AVADirect comes out to $1,400 including shipping, assembly, and OS (I can make it for a bit less myself, but may not be able to). What do...

    Asus P6X58D Memory Dimms Malfunctioning?

    mine detects all 6gb on all default bios settings, but the second you overclock or put ram at correct 1600mhz speed, it goes to 4gb. Even the slightest change. I am using compatible memory (model on vendor list) and voltages are all close to each other. I'm stuck.

    Asus P6X58D Memory Dimms Malfunctioning?

    I'm running the latest BIOS and it doesn't make a difference. Still recognizing 4 out of 6gb of RAM. Occasionally when I mess around with BIOS settings, it will recognize 6gb for 1 boot.
