So a while back I made a thread I wanted to build a mini itx pc
I decided on buying a 7950, I already have the ram/hdd the ram being 1600 and psu which is 630w

What I need your help with is picking a mobo, cpu, case,

Please keep it under $400 if possible, I plan on splurging on the cpu a bit since itx mobos dont coast alot.

Thanks :)

No, LGA1155 goes all the way up to Core i7 too.

If you want that H77 motherboard, you should be getting i7-3770 instead.

So something like this?

I kinda wanna build this as a gaming rig as well as a media streamer, my main concern is not really needing a i7 and put the extra $100 towards the gpu though it's only around $250 now days.

I wanna keep this small and portable as possible.

    well actually
    a new console won't do anything right now, because the games are still in development, that's why there are few games being released
