Recently my parents have split up. I have money to burn and I fucking despise moving my computer constantly.

I'm looking to build a little LAN machine costing around $500.00 - $600.00 CDN.

I've already made a build, but the purchase of the whole thing was postponed. The deals have expired and now it's out of my price range.

Previous Build:
• PSU
• CPU
• Motherboard
• RAM
• GPU
• HDD
• Case

Key Components of the Build:
• I am looking to purchase everything from NCIX.com (Canada)
• The build must be Mini ITX, and I would love to use the case from the previous build.
• Deals are nice, but avoiding mail-in rebates is nicer.
• $500.00 - $600.00 CDN
• Do not include an Operating System in the build.
• Do not include after-market cooling in the build.
• Nvidia GPU preferred.
• Modular/semi-modular PSU, considering this is a Mini ITX build.
• My crippling OCD commands that this build is black, and if possible with a blue accent of sorts.

I'm sorry I am such a picky boy. Have fun! :B1:

GPUs are expensive as fuck in CA. If you're not comfortable with an amd one, switch to a cheap 760, or keep your 750ti.
This build excludes an HDD and Case, since you already have those.
This also doesn't use your website for all of them, but these are CA stores.


also if you wanna use the full $600 you can bump that CPU up too.

Sorano will probably bring a better build.

Added your case and the gpu is a tight fit and the mb doesnt have 3.0 headers, one sec.
 
CPU: Pentium K G3258
MODO: ASUS H97I-Plus
GPU: ASUS GTX 750ti
PSU: Antec VP-450W
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB
RAM: Ripjaws X 16GB (2x4GB @ 1600MHz)
CASE: Thermaltake Core V1 Extreme Mini

Cost: Approximately $620, not counting any rebates or shipping costs. Currently, there are $55 worth of rebates for the parts listed.

I cross-checked your CPU vs the G3258, Fiesta. While it does have a higher clock and hyperthreading, the Pentium K still outperforms it in a lot of tests and is $30 cheaper. Add to that it has an overclocking capability.
 
Try to find a 9-series board, Fiesta. Like that one I linked. 8-series boards don't always get along with Haswell refresh parts like the Pentium K.
 
Yo. Here we go. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/pjwGwP

Trimmed it up a little bit. That should work nicely.

Whoa. You found a mini-ITX with AC wifi for a decent price. Okay.

Here. Added that to my list and the grand total is: 550 after rebates! http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/htjPcf

*EDIT* Hold on. Site says that I have considerable headroom on the PSU wattage, so I'm going to check that and see if I can drop the PSU a little lower.

New link. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/PtjPcf

Cheapens the price by $5 by dropping 20 watts and gains an 80+ Rating.
 
Prices have fluctuated quite a bit since this build was created, and I am planning to order everything either this weekend, or early in week. You guys think you could help by lowering the price a bit?
 
Let me see.....

Yeah. The EVGA card shot waaaayyyy up. Traded it for the ASUS model. Here you go. http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/tzgQxr
