Need some help putting together a mini ATX or ITX build for work and some light gaming, maybe StarCraft II. I want the case to be as small and portable as possible. I'm currently using a laptop, but it's definitely not built for gaming. Looking for an optimal price point around $4,000 for this setup. I already have an SSD, an HDD
, a monitor, and all my peripherals. Thanks.

The case weighs barely 6.6 lbs and measures about 13x9x13 inches. Maybe it's a bit too big?

Looking for a mini ITX build. Realized I said micro ATX, but I actually want ITX😁 and finding decent boards here in the States isn't even that easy right now.

He said smaller and more portable, and this definitely fits the bill.

btw, since when does HAK sell hardware???

That works. I'm just not sure about the Sapphire RX 460 OC; I was actually expecting an offer for a GTX 950 or a GTX 960.

The GTX 950 isn't actually any stronger, yet it costs more $100. I guess the GTX 960 loses all its appeal for $533 when you can just grab a custom RX 470 for $567 and absolutely crush it.

Since you mentioned just light gaming, the RX 460 is probably an ideal 😉

Thanks, got it. I'm placing the order now. Just one more thing though. Why pair this specific processor with that graphics card?

because they simply won't run without a graphics card

Can anyone help me finish putting together an ITX build? I'm looking for an i3 processor and a GPU that can run SC2 without any issues. I don't need an SSD or an HDD right now.
I'd prefer to get everything from Best Buy. Their case selection isn't great, but I can just order the chassis somewhere else. Thanks.

Is there even such a thing as a low profile RX 460?

Need some help putting together an ITX build. No peripherals, no HDD, and no monitor needed. Looking to stay around $3,500 $1333. It'll be for work and some light gaming. Thanks.

Man, why even bother trolling more people when you already have an open thread for this nonsense

I'm looking for something a bit smaller than what's being offered here. Basically, I want an ITX build. Something easy enough to pack up and move from one place to another. That's it.

Maybe an ASRock H110M-ITX, s1151.
It’s an Intel Core i3-6100 (3MB Cache, 3.80 GHz) on the LGA 1151 socket, I guess.
It looks like we've got an FSP Fortron/Source Hexa+ 400W power supply here, which follows the ATX 2.4 standard. It's the PPA4004900 model, I believe.
Sharkoon Zone C10 ITX case, black, no power supply included.
Gigabyte RX 460 WF2 2G, GV-RX460WF2OC-2GD, 2 GB DDR5, 128-bit, 1212/7000 MHz
Crucial DDR4 8GB (1x8GB) PC3-17000 2133MHz CL15, CT8G4DFS8213

Total: $1.25 ADM
