That is a bloody stupid price for that hardware, even if that's aud that's still like a 1000 bucks or more mark up, and that's on top of the already high price you pay for such form factor pc's.

Do yourself a HUGE favour and build your own.

hi. so i am interested in this build because this is the only case that fits in the tv hole i cant have a atx or matx build because it wont fit!

[Monk]

Then get a longer cable and put it somewhere else, or a new cabinet, that's a really bad reason to buy really over priced hardware, my htpc just uses a atx case and sits next to the TV, when my new sideboards arrive it will sit proudly on one as a display piece, the thing cost enough and looks cool, so I don't want to hide it lol.

[adz]

anyways back on topic!

im keen for this build. need futher advice -- i need to run all my steam games(1014) at 1080px60fps can this nvidia gtx 1080 8gb do it? i want like wolf 2 farcry 5 cod ww2 playing at full fps at 1080p

[Monk]

Yes it should do it, you are just spending over double for lower performance.

[adz]

hi mate can i ask

a gtx 1070 8gb can that run all games at 1080px60fps???

far cry 5 wolf 2 doom 2016 etc??

[Monk]

Most, yeah, there's a few very demanding titles that may need a slight tweak, but, for the majority that would be great for 1080p 60.

[adz]

when u say tweak like ultra down to high?

games i play are very demanding far cry 5 for example

so my question is im going for the 1070 8gb nvidia. i want to play all my games 1080p 60fps. even with ultra low medium high.

can it run it? i guess like a ps4 pro.

[Monk]

That's not that demanding, I mean things like kingdom come and wildlands.
Yes, by tweak I mean you may come a cross a game or two that may need to drop below full max to keep 60 non stop, but, that's not the case for most, atleast at 1080p.

And micor itx ?

$3499 is a joke for a 7700 non-k and a 1080..
Also its a barebone, so it comes without drives or ddr ram.

Current gen and less.

But your money, up to you.

[sawdust3d]

Yeah, for $3.5k you can put together somethingteally great. That prebuilt isn't it.

If you don't mind paying such a premium for convenience, I get it. Sometimes time is worth more than money.

If you want to ferret out a build, what would your ideal budget be?

[Monk]

That ones also awful, sorry, but I cannot in good conscience recommend any of those tiny pre built at that sort of cost, there are some fantastic looking small cases that will happily fit in arou d a TV which would let you have a much better system.

If you want to waste your money, go ahead, but, I won't be able to help you, it's just a bad idea.

But no, the 7500 will struggle in games and in those tiny box's, they will throttle or run slow.

If you want a console experience, buy a console, don't spend 5x the price just to have a slow but small pc.

ok guys i guess ur right. i might give a miss on these items

i currently and still use a alienware alpha r1 its amazing and i love it but the newer games make it hard to run. thats why i was interested in the zotac

As mentioned above, think about a custom itx rig.
