OK! So will it work? or am I just dumb?... YOU DECIDE!
Define 'Work';
1) No compatibility Issues - Never built an ITX rig b4
2) ITX board can handle 6870x2 w/o problems?
3) Play BF3 on Ultra
So, i'm building a rig for my Bro who is going to S.Korea for a year & he's my bud so i wanna build him a sweet little rig to keep him happy whilst he's away from his peeps....
It's gotta be super small yet mighty powerful (enough to play BF3 on ultra) & budget is approx $1500
THE BUILD:
Case: Cubitek Mini Tank -(modded of course
)
CPU: i5-2500
MOBO: ZOTAC H67ITX-C-E LGA 1155 Intel H67
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600
GPU
owerColor AX6870X2 HD 6870 x2 2GB
SSD: Corsair Force Series GT CSSD-F120GBGT-BK 2.5" 120GB SATA III
HDD: WD Caviar Black WD5002AALX 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB SATA III 3.5"
PSU: CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX750
I know you guys are probly gonna say that's the 6870x2 is crap & worthless... if you know a better bang for buck opt. (Single card only of course) then i'm open to suggestions.
IMO i think it looks pretty BA with those huge copper heat pipes so don't try & tell me how ugly it is
(^ same goes for the mini tank)
So there it is sports fans.. Please let me know if i am breaking any cardinal rules of ITX b/c i never built one before... btw, this will be my 5th time rig build
Thanks Sincerely,
