NastyStang's Computer Build!

[Seer]

my parts for my new mini itx build arrive tomorrow.

i5 3570k, Asus Mini ITX Z77 mobo, 16gig corsair DDR3, GTX 670, Silverstone SG07 Case w/600w PSU, OCZ Vertex 4 256gig SSD, Corsair H60 Cooler.

Should be a little cube that packs a punch. Doesn't hold a candle to my main desktop though.

I see you went GTX 660 Ti, good bang for the buck, I looked hard and close at it vs. the 670.

Nice. I'm going to do a build for my family room. More than just a media PC though.

Yes, 660 Ti is the winner. Really no point in getting the 670 right now, IMO. These 660 Tis OC really nicely and the MSi has great cooling.

My arguement with going with the 670 was, it OC's very easy as well, and it actually OC's within a few % of an OC'd 680

Better look? Disagreed but appreciate the compliments. I was just taking some quick pictures and couldn't care less more about lighting. Planning on taking some 'real' photos once I pull it out to use the new Indigo Xtreme.

Yeah but we'll be seeing a new card soon that should be a worth while step above the current 600 series in a couple of months. I was using a 6950 before so this was a great upgrade IMO.

Ya, my goal was just potent, portable mini system.

Well my main computer is a socket 2011 (Asus ROG board) i7 clocked to 5ghz and 3x gtx 680's with 3x 480 radiators in custom water cooled loops sitting in a custom mountain mods case pushing 7680x1600 resolution (3x Dell u2011's).

Secondary comp is a socket 1155 i7 3770k clocked to 4.5ghz and a gtx 670 in a corsair 800d case running on a 360 and 240 loop. It's just pushing a single 2560x1440 monitor.

I'm most likely going to start to part this out shortly though.
