My cousin is heading up to college and needs a small desktop to bring with him. He is very keen on AMD/ATi and keeping it as a SFF. Now normally when I build SFF computers I'm usually building it for people who aren't power demanding. So this is actually my first time building a powerhouse SFF. I am a bit worry about the heatout on the AMD 940BE but my cousin specifically wanted that CPU. Unless you guys say otherwise. I have try to convince him for the AMD X3 720BE but no go there.

To get the ball rolling here is some things I have in my shopping cart:

Lian-Li V351B = $105
AMD Phenom II X3 720 = $140
DFI LP JR 790GX-M3H5 AM3 790GX = $75
OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB DDR3 1600 = $75 (Might be buying another pair for 8GB)
XFX Radeon HD 4850 = $135
Western Digital 750GB Black Drive = $80
Corsair 620HX PSU = $120

I would also need a good HSF for the SFF case. Anyone got any ideas?

Oh don't worry about the hard-drive. I didn't mean to list newegg. I will be buying it from either Amazon or ZZF. All three of them pretty much as the same price as newegg.

Perhaps I should go for the XFX 4830?

The words "HOLY SHIT" comes to mind after seeing that awesome price for the Corsair 620HX. Nice choice and find!

At that res, definitely stick with the HD4850 1GB. Other than that, it's a pretty solid build IMO.

so... damn... tempting... dont... need... another... 620HX... argh!

I'm not sure on the heat output. As far as build goes, like Danny said, it looks good. I agree, keep the HD4850. BTW, the HD4770 outperforms the HD4830. So, if nobody answers you here, head over to the SFF forum and ask.

I was hoping to go with the ATi 4770 but sadly XFX doesn't make them yet .

Might try to change case to either:

-Antec 180 mini (black) = Though the size of it is rather large for a "mATX case" right?

-I might have a better chance with the Lian-Li V351b

And dammit newegg... why are all the LG and Samsung DVD burners are OOS?!

-Antec 180 mini (black) = Though the size of it is rather large for a "mATX case" right?

The Antec P180 mini is the size of many ATX cases.

Ok I made some changes. Convince my cousin to go for the 720BE instead but now he wants to jump onto the DDR3 board geez...

I hardly know anything about DDR3 so I hope the OCZ ones I picked out are good.

As of now things add up to $730. The only things I'm missing is the 2x LG or Samsung dvd drives (seriously did something happen over to Korea? Where the hell are all the dvd drives?! Even ZZF is OSS!) and a nice HSF.

I'm flexing the budget to $800 now.
