That for $200? JC that is a steal.

Yup. Just ordered a fractal node 202 to put it all in

Fwiw, I have a C7 cooling my i5-6500 in my rig. Was using the stock Intel cooler (yes I know =|) for a while, but the C7 is absolutely quiet even when I am gaming. Haven't seen CPU temps go above 65.

Could you post pictures of the build when your finished? I've always liked the Node 202 case. Interested in someone's experience building in it

Nah I'm going to pull one of my 780tis I got in that build I bought last week and put it in there. Wish it was a 1060 instead, but the 780ti will do.

I'll be pushing 375ish watts in the build, so the 450w PSU should be fine

For sure. Case comes in Friday, so I'll probably get around to building it on Sunday.

Played some PUBG on the build last night (built it on top of a shoebox ), and I was surprised by the performance. 100+ fps

The non OC 6 core Intel chips are adequate for almost all gamers at 1080p with a decent GFX card.

On the 780ti?

You think a build like that can get 144 on fortnite with low settings?

Trying to get as cheap as possible in a mini itx for portable gaming/HTPC

I can run a round of fortnite later and let you know how it runs. I assume it'll run better than PUBG

I actually play with higher anti aliasing though since it matters more in PUBG to have the cleaner views. Sucks though bc that's one of the bigger FPS clunkers

Sometimes I turn on AA because it can be harsh looking in far distances without the smoothing.

BTW, got my Finalmouse in and bought a 60% keyboard for added area since I put my DPI on 400.

Finalmouse is amazing and is extremely light. About the same size as my g pro wireless and don't notice the paracord wire.

The keyboard is the anne pro 2 with gateron browns. I actually like the gaterons more than the cherrys.

How big is your mouse pad that you need that much space? I need a lot of space since I play on 800dpi and low sens, but my mousepad is massive

my mouse pad
