Hey guys, I'm going to lan syndicate, and my current pc, which is running crossfire, liquid cooled, and is in the enthoo luxe, would not fit on a plane.
My dad also needed a pc for 1080p editing and light gaming, and has been begging me to make him a pc for months, so I made this on PC Partpicker. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fT2Zt6 Realizing I needed a pc for Lan Syndicate, I changed the case to an ITX Cooler Master Case, and I'm going to stick a 290x in there, so don't bother about the video card? Any recommendations on upgrades before I build it? Also, Im going to take the video card out when Im done with lan syndicate, and I'm going to put a 380x soon after, because I think that will be more then enough for my dad.
My dad wanted a build under $700 total, so an intel chip would bash the price to performance, and anyways, I can overclock the chip with the 120mm AIO, which I wouldn't be able to go as far with an air cooler.
All the A10 series APUs should be shipping with the Wraith cooler. There may still be older stock on the shelves with the old cooler, but sometime in the next month the transition should be finished.
