Hey guys!
i already got a probook 4530s hackintosh,but its low end..
so i want a good "Mini"desktop pc for gaming etc.

I already watched some Builds here,but there was nothing that i like..
so, i want a really small pc, which is a little bit portable for gaming(no big tower:D, something like this : http://www.caseking.de/shop/catalog...w=&pup_c=pla&gclid=CNGq8tS_v7MCFQm33godzkMAMg )
good (nvidia) graphics and a i5 processor, so what can you recommend?
price range 700-1100€(USD)
(i want to play games like skyrim,wow,mob in good graphics WITH AA!)

Thank you!
 
okay, i've done a little research..
so this is my wanted case:

BitFenix Prodigy ITX Case

How about this Mini ITX Motherboard?

and this 8gb ddr3 1600 g skill RAM?
[AMAZON-de]http://www.amazon.de/G-Skill-PC1600-Arbeitsspeicher-240-polig-DDR3-RAM/dp/B00339X1EM/[/AMAZON-de]

1gb seagate hdd
[AMAZON-de]http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IZN3YI/[/AMAZON-de]

So,which graphic card should i use? and which atx power supply?


thank you very much!
 
I have 2 SSDs, one with OSX one with windows 7 and wow runs at about 60 fps on max settings. With average to high settings I can get about 150 fps + even in busy areas. See my specs to the left.
 
You can't have a graphics card and that wifi card, the motherboard only has one PCI-Express slot. You have to buy a mini-PCIe wifi card to replace the one that is already on the board. See the thread in my sig for instance.

If you want mobility, how about this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112348
I have one with an ASUS P8Z77-I mITX in it and it works great.

Yes, you could use a USB device, but I'd recommend the mini-PCIe card over USB.

Well, it was bought and built in Sweden, so I'm not sure telling the price will be useful. :) You'd probably get it cheaper in Germany anyway (I assume that's where you are from the links and nick ;)). The WiFi card cost med $10 including shipping though. But so far, the whole build has cost me about €800. I'll probably put another €200 on top of that for SSDs and a better bluetooth adapter.
