@General_Lee45: How do you know it handles 4k if you don't have a 4k display?

That set up should run 4k pretty good, obviously not 60fps in every game. But more than enough for a good experience at 4k.

I would use something like Asus Turbo of GPU edition since it's ITX but if you've got a good airflow then don't hold back =)

2Tb of SDD - nice, in comparison it's like buying Intel 5960X right now :P

@kitty Yeah I've read it should play pretty good at medium or high settings at 4k (won't know for sure till' I get a 4k monitor for this beast! @PredatorRules Yeah I actually bought it late last fall when it came out I believe! Now it is on to a 4k monitor hopefully soon! Also forgot to add in the 3dmark score for Firestrike is 15125, which I am pretty happy with!

I looked up reviews on Newegg, Tweektown, and a few others as well.

How are the temperatures in it?

Very nice.. Do you have any pictures of your setup?

They 're pretty good I think usually idling it stay's in the mid to upper 20's. Then the GPU stays at upper 30's or low 40's at idle. The most I see when gaming is mid 40's for the CPU and the GPU around 68 to 72 is usually where it stays which I say is pretty good for such a small case.

Once I get some more time I will add some pictures of it!

@KHAndAnime: 16 GB x 2 sticks 2133, also I already had all the drives from other systems I've had so probably spent about 1400 bucks on it. I got the extra power in case I wanted to put something like a Titan X or more power hungry GPU in there but I don't think that'll happen for a while though.

  • I7 6700k Skylake
  • Azza Stealth Case
  • MSI 980 Ti Gaming 6Gb Golden Edition
  • Enermax Liqmax ii 120S Cpu Cooler
  • Corsair CX750 PSU
  • Gigabyte Z170N Gaming 5 Motherboard MINI ITX
  • 2TB SSD, 2TB 5400rpm 2.5inch HDD, 3.0TB 7600rpm Desktop HDD, Ext 6TB My Book

I am pretty happy with this so far and there is nothing I can find so far this thing can't play or do at 4k or 1080p, even though I have to get me a 4k display which is what I will be doing next!

if you would willingly go above 300 like 400 or even 450 I would recommend the Alienware Alpha because it can do all that and can play most games at high settings no problem! I love mine though I bought the most expensive version with 8GB RAM and 2TB HDD which you can upgrade RAM and the HDD which I did and bought a 2TB SSD and maxed Ram to 16GB which does make a big difference (the SSD made a huge difference!) I don't know why everyone tries to compare it to a homebuilt because you can't build anything this small so there's not much to compare it too. I also have a homebuilt gaming pc but this way more fun and doesn't way 50 pounds either. LOL! I wouldn't trade this thing for anything!

It does have Hivemind UI on it now which is Kodi which makes it that much better!

Newegg and Tigerdirect are usually the only places i buy my parts because no one is cheaper, that I have found.

I'm pretty sure that the v6 cooler will definitely fit in my Xigmatek Elysium case and I just ordered all the stuff and can't wait till' it gets here! I will now have USB 3.0 and can expand to 6 Hard Drives which I plan on having each of them beĀ 3 Terabytes, so i don't ever have to worry about space for a long time.

I plan on using trevor. I like him the most because of the waylon jennings song.
