Topic: Config assistance Posted: 26 Nov 2015 at 7:19pm |
Long time customer. Time to upgrade two of my older desktops for teenage sons. They play mostly racing (Need For Speed style) and City Simulation (SimCity, Cities: Skylines) with some FPS. Want something quiet and small factor. Looking to upgrade monitors to dual 24 inch in future (likely 1920x1080). BluRay player for movies. Also, I'm partial to Corsair memory and WD black drives.
Here's my current thinking. Any comments are appreciated.

Hi DL13..... Looks like a good build to me. The Corsair ram and WD drive are the way to go.
Not sure you need their thermal/fan control board with a SFF case but it doesn't hurt. Good luck. |
