After 5.5 years I built a new PC for  myself. Here are pics: http://imgur.com/a/aF4O7

I used these new parts:

- Case: Thermaltake Core V1 Mini

- Mobo: Asrock B85M ITX

- CPU: Intel i5-4570

- RAM: Crucial Ballistix 8 GB DDR3

- SSD: Crucial MX100 256 GB

I used these old parts from my old PC:

- PSU: OCZ 700W

- GPU: Geforce 650ti

- HDD: Seagate 500 GB

It works great, boots in few seconds, emulates PS2 great, on 100% load while decoding video CPU only goes to 70C. I connected my wireless PS3 controller through bluetooth. Sometime next year I will get a new GPU, probably Geforce 960. In conclusion my PC is better than yours.

oooo You got the case I was looking at! Right now I have the Hadron Air for my main rig, but was looking at other ITX cases for a fun build.

Your PC is better than mine? Only your GPU is .

But seriously, congrats for your new PC and for enjoying it so much.



Please excuse my bad English.

Currently gaming on a PC with an i5-4670k@stock (for now), 16Gb RAM 1600 MHz and a GTX 1070

Definitely not better than my piece of shit from 2 years ago^^

Ok setup. Painfully oversized PSU, I can hear the lost electricity dripping out of your socket from here.
What are you cooling your CPU with?

Congrats on your new PC! Looks like a pretty good setup. I think a GPU upgrade would seriously boost your system's gaming performance though.

For me I would need more memory, 8GB just isnt enough these days...

Fuik uuuuuuu. I had that PSU from old times when 1500 watt PSUs was norm for gamers. For CPU cooling I use Coolermaster Vortex Plus from my old PC.

So how much have you paid for the upgrade?
