i was thinking maybe micro atx can cut it if in a small case. There are itx cases that are alsmost same size as some matx
My comment was that if we can get you a micro build in a small case, so the matx board has m2 slot.
Indeed, there is no point spending money on something that it won't or you won't run it that high. You are fine with 2133/2400Mhz.
I have the same with be quiet!shadow wings 2, similarly some do it with noctua fans others with corsair SP ones. They are still not quiet enough - quiet as a good air cooler.
Its not the cost only. You could theoretically find a decent 1000watt psu for that price. You would still not want to buy it for your rig. You don't want the psu to run at 20% load all the time. Its bad for the psu.
No you misunderstood me or i wasn't clear. You don't need the i7 for gaming, the i5 is enough. I am just saying that for an enthousiast build that includes pieces for bragging purposes rather than being needed, i would justify the i7 over say the intel ssd and/or the asus matrix.
The
samsung 850evo is for £119 so 2 would be for 240, not far off. Then again the
1tb version is for £229
Will check dimensions and will come back to you and basically try to save you money without loosing performance, then you decide what is worth or not.
