Hi there!
So after walking around my local computer mall today, I stumbled upon this little gem here. I have a few spare parts lying about, namely 8GB of RAM and a 7750, and I have been thinking about building a nice little steambox/ ridiculously compact LAN rig for a while now. I'm not aiming to spend a lot, and I actually don't think that I need to. The most intense game i'll be playing on this thing is TF2, which isn't going to tax the 7750 at all.
So here are my proposed specs:
Case: Cooler Master Elite 110
Mobo: AsRock B85M-ITX
CPU: Intel Core i3 4130
RAM: Corsair XMS 2x4GB 1600MHz (Pre-existing)
GPU: HIS 7750 1GB DDR5 (Pre-existing, single slot)
PSU: Corsair CX430M
HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA050 500GB
OS: SteamOS (Free)
ODD: Nope
Cooling: Stock
Extras: Nope
The Elite 110 comes with one 120mm front intake fan. What I want to know is if this is enough to keep the CPU running cool with the stock cooler, and just your general thoughts on this build.
Thanks in advance!
