I have put extensive research into this list so this isn't something just cobbled together

You can fit a short atx psu in the case... Just read how... And the 7970 should fit no problem.... No overclocking until you pick a short more powerful psu... Otherwise this is a sexy fast build

Thoughts?


Edit: this is a client template... Please don't share outside of our community

I don't share these because of the 12-20 hours of research I put into part selection... Have a client... Give them a parts list... Boom they undercut you and do it themselves... I can't tell you how much I read to pick the best parts in the price range... They is why I don't want it shared because of the amount of labor that went into research and part selection

People do all this research for free @ [H] and other public forums. ;) I was one of those people, and I even accepted donations from some people for helping them with their build; but I never bothered hiding the parts list from clients or from the public - there's no point. If they want to build it themselves, let them. Yes, I understand it takes time to research and compile a good parts list, but there are so many parts out there that you can substitute into that list without compromising the cost/performance/quality/etc. Since people can get this info for free, I don't bother hiding it. Sometimes I get paid (friends, friends of friends, and some family), and sometimes I dont (usually family who cant afford to pay me, but pay me non-monetarily; or forum posts). I do the research anyways, cuz i'm a hardware junkie. :)

I build for lay people... Not hardware junkies... I guess it might not really matter but shouldn't be a big deal to respect my wishes with my labor... That aside what are any thoughts about parts

I build for lay people, too. Of course it's not a big deal to respect your wishes, but as I added in my earlier post, I built nearly the exact same rig for my father (aside from case, ssd, and cpu/cooler). I needed a smaller case, so I went with the Sugo SG05 instead. I've had way too many issues in the past with OCZ SSD's, so I steer clear of them and use Samsung, Crucial, or Intel these days (Samsung Evo 250GB). My dad doesn't do much with his comp, so I only needed an i3-4130. ;)

As for blu, I don't think he needs an ITX build, but we won't know until he says something.
