media center build help Anonymous 2016-08-01 16:56:48 Post No. 165584 [Report]

currently working on an upgrade (pretty much a new build by now) of my current media center so I can run 4k smoothly.

this is what I have so far:

what I am looking for is the best small case for all of this.. I have an apex m-008 but that is not going to work. I'd like something similar that would fit into a space that is barley 7.5 inches tall. I'd understand if thats not possible but i'd just like some suggestions regardless.

i'd also like to know what would be a good small psu for this build and would an SSD be required for viewing 4k video? I currently have a 2tb western digital green.

why do you go for a gtx 750 ti?
you build in Intel HD Graphics 530 can run 4k at 60 Hz, in my eyes the gtx 750 ti in this case a waste of 100$.

a ssd is not required but in your case it would be nice to have a pc boots quick so you can start your media

Thats fine by me, and your english is fine.

So I would be good with just the CPU? Thats cool, I just looked it up and I see that it seems to run fine. I mainly wanted to CPU for light gaming but I think this would do.

Also, yeah 4k is starting to come out in movie form with things like UHD (ultra HD) for blu ray. So in the somewhat near future with 4k TV's becoming the norm 4k content is going to shoot up.

Would you also happen to know a good micro atx motherboard that supports that i3?

If you're not putting a GPU in, do it properly and go fanless mini-ITX.

Why not get a NUC instead?
