Looking for small form gaming PC

[xLegendary]

I saw this mini PC which got my attention. Actually been looking for a small HTPC that could do some gaming as well, and this one seems to be just fine with that. Besides looking good and very small has great specs!

But the question is, would be the ASrock VisionX 420D enough for gaming? OR would this be a better choice?

I would say the 420D still can perform pretty OK if your looking for casual gaming. As the CPU is not that big of a influence in many games.

 

[ssamhouu]

should be more than enough especially if youve got the one with i7. Its actually more powerful than some steam machines id think.

 

[ohenryy]

Whoa, it comes with i7?

The're barebones systems. You add the CPU and RAM.

420D with Intel graphics

420D with Radeon graphics

Buy the barebones box, buy an i7 and memory and you're golden.

I just a Raidmax Atomic. I am going to cut holes in the top for ventilation and paint the case. It looks great.

I think they are complete systems.. they come with CPU and RAM inc.

Yeah, i thought it was a full system, thats why its great so simple no fuss no muss.

Sounds perfect to me. OK, thanks Im getting one this week.

So just to be clear: Size over bang for the buck value, correct?

 

[cruiatt]

If you go with something of this size and looks, you are not really aiming at value.

Seems like an Alienware Alpha is better on size, performance, and value.
