Time to work out some pros and cons.

I'm building a PC, but I'm trying to minimise the amount of my OWN money that I spend. In fact, I have a budget of RM2900 plus, I've got two graphics cards worth RM600 second hand that when crossfired are as powerful as a GTX770. I don't plan on using a dual GPU set up next month, in fact I'm pretty happy with a single GTX970 or 980 (who wouldn't be).

Here's my problem. These are the components I have on hand.

CPU: i7 4790k
RAM: 2X 8GB DDR3 HyperX Fury
CPU Cooler: Thermaltake Asetek style Performer 3.0
SSD: 256GB ADATA Premier Pro
GPUs: R7 265 and a HD 7870

The last three parts determine the build.
I can either go ITX or M-ATX, as I plan to keep it compact.

M-ATX Pros:
- Cheaper and better motherboard
- Roomier Case easier cable management (dual chamber)
- More fans, more expandability
-
M-ATX Cons
- Not ugly, but not stunning either

Fuck it I wants the jonsbo Umx1
