I've never done a custom SFF build and after doing a ton of research, I thought I'd get some input before I put stuff together. Thanks!
1. What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming such as Eve, Civ 5, Europa Universalis 4 - mostly strategy games.
2. Will you be overclocking? No.
3. What's your budget? $750
4. Where do you live? Concord, CA - Fry's down the street.
5. What exact parts do you need for that budget? RAM, Graphics Card, Case, HD, MB
6. If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? i5 3570k,
7. What specific features do you need in a motherboard? I'm leaning toward using the ASUS P8Z77-I Deluxe, but other suggestions are way welcome.
8. What resolution output do you need? 1080p - Hooking this up to a 55" TV
9. Does this system need to fit into a particular space and do you need an optical drive? Space size is 8"x17", doesn't have to have an optical drive, but I'm ok if you guys can recommend a case that can fit one.
10. How comfortable are you with custom case design/modification and electrical wiring? Plug and play. I can do custom stuff, but for this build I'd rather not.
11. How important is the noise/silence of this sytem? Not that important. I'd rather not have it sound like a airplane though - it is going into my living room.
12. How mobile does this system need to be? Doesn't need to be mobile at all.
13. Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? Win 7 64bit
14. When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Couple of weeks.
If any other info is needed, just ask.
