Reddit reviews SilverStone Technology Flat Flexible Short Cable Set Designed for SilverStone Modular Power Supplies PP05-E

I'd go for the gold 450 SFX PSU. Just a little more reliable breathing room. Also get these to go with it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00H7Y3I4M?pc_redir=1404569392&robot_redir=1

Silverstone also has a 600w gold SFX PSU coming out in the near to slightly distant future if you can wait a bit.

The 600w one will come with the flat cable kit as standard.

8 months ago, I got the following. It's basically a Tiki on the cheap.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GSQ3KT8

To that, I added this: "i7-4790K", "Crucial Ballistix 2x8GB DDR3 1600 CAS 8-8-8-24 Low Profile", "Crucial M550 512GB M.2 SSD CT512M550SSD4", "ASUS Z97I-PLUS", and a pair of "Scythe Slip Stream SY1212SL12M 120mm fans". And, a 780ti graphics card.

Of course, now, the 980 is out.

Anyway, it's a nice and fast machine that you can easily carry single handed. Just got fed up with the limits of laptops. Very quiet, too.

For most everything, I got on sale (lightning deals, etc.). Some for less than half what they are now charging. But, it pays to not be impulsive. Only the CPU is cheaper now than it was.

And every thing I've thrown at it is completely fluid. It's awesome to have something that runs UE4 like a REAL dev environment should run.

*edit: I just looked at amazons page for the case. Picture doesn't do it justice. The thing is SMALL, and is very high quality materials. Have a look for it on google images: Silvestone ML07B

2700x w/Strix B450-I, Dom Plat RGB 3200mhz 2x8gb, Silverstone 700w Plat SFX-L w/swapped copper fan grill. If anyone wants to buy the PSU pm me haha, the stock fan grill from Silverstone is still mint, not to be confused with the grill that was painted. Im really trying to look for an SF600 with some custom cables or something, would die to have some PSlate cables or something before end of this month since I wont have time to wait for all of the processing time it takes for them. Have 20+ trades on r/hardwareswap but barely have time to even post anything nowadays. Still looking for a better shade of copper spray paint. If I had time I would have 100%%%%% powder coated instead of rattle-canning.

\^ Thats the PSU. I could do like $140 shipped with this thrown in from CO. Lmk!

The CPu will come with one, but I was assuming since you had selected a K CPU you'd be OC'ing and want a better cooler.

Looking on PCPP, I don't see a cheaper option than the 4690K @ microcenter in your build, and having a K CPu doesn't hurt anything if it doesn't cost more.

I'm partial to seasonic, but anything by Seasonic, Corsair, Silverstone, or EVGA should be fine.

For this build I'd probably go for the Silverstone ST50F-P, because it's a short power supply, and compatible with the PP05-E cable set which would make cable management easier in the case if you're willing to pay for extra cables.

Here's the build with the PSU and cable set

Assuming you're using the Intel stock HSF, that looks fine. You might want to look into getting this set of PSU cables to go with your PSU (they're compatible, I double checked). They're specifically for small form factor builds and I guarantee you'll have a much better time building if you use those.

Hey almost my part set!!

I'm also going for the mini ITX SG13 with a 3700X on an ASUS X570, and same power supply and memory...

I've just bought the CPU at USD 305 on NewEgg page at eBay. It could works for you and you will save 25 bucks!

Why you decided for Cooler Master Cooler? I'm thinking on Corsair H60, it's $60 on Amazon today. I had the H110iv2 for 2 years and never got any issue, CPU was always fresh.

For GPU I'm still on the fence for a 2060/2060 Super or 2070 it all depends on Black Friday deals, let's hope we see good prices!

I still don't get the parts, but accordingly to what I've read, everyone seems to also recommend "SilverStone short power cable set" as it seems that will facilitate what's already a tight place.

Don't know if it will work OK, I hope it will but I'm interested on knowing about the progress of your build anyway!

Good luck with your build, I hope my two cents could be useful!

^That's ^why ^I'm ^here, ^I ^don't ^judge ^you. ^PM ^/u/xl0 ^if ^I'm ^causing ^any ^trouble. ^WUT?

Would something like this work with this build?

Did you check cablemod.com? Otherwise, there's something like this but without the color coordination.

> Thanks for the response and your input! I am certainly going to take into account the things you said regarding the PC I’m going to build.
> • CPU: My local Micro Center has the i5-4590s for $169.99 and the i7-4790s for $249.99. Do you think that the performance difference I would see between the 4590s and 4790s would be significant enough to warrant an extra $80?

• That's a hard call. The performance improvement would be noticeable/measurable both on applications/games that support hyper-threading, and on those that are primarily single threaded as the i7 has a much higher boost clock. $80 worth? IMHO, it's only worth it if you are planning to heavily game on it at the same time Plex is streaming a transcode or two out someone else. Or if you plan to use this as your primary computer. If it's only going to be a Plex server and HTPC for 1-3 people, spare gaming machine to be used only when you have company over, and no one directly gaming on it while it's streaming, then the extra $80 for the i7 would arguably be overkill.
  
• For friends and clients who could afford it. I've had them go with the i7-4790S, i7-4790, and i7-4790K when they could get the Microcenter deal. I've found it just too good a deal to pass up for primary systems.
  
  > • Motherboard: Just to be sure I’m correct, there is a total of 5 Sata 6GB/s ports, so this would allot for 1 SSD and 4 standard internal 3.5” drives?
  
  
• Yes. Though you could get any H97 MiniITX motherboard with the Fractal Node. If your local Microcenter has something in stock it should work for their CPU combo.
  
  > • Video Card: Aside from gaming, is there any other reason you could think that I would eventually move away from the on board graphics of the CPU? When the standard for movie/tv rips becomes 4k, will a standalone video card help in any way with streaming these files to a Plex client?
  
  
• Haven't done anything in 4K with Plex yet. Last I checked GPU transcoding support wasn't yet in Plex. Only add a video card if you want to use it for gaming as well.
  
• Budget card that can do it all right now ... GTX950. Can be had for between $130-$160.
  
  > • Power Supply: I watched the video for the case and they said that the space can be a bit tight due to the power supply. Will the power supply you listed allow me to get 12.2” GPU clearance? Assuming I decide against gaming and this will be straight up HTPC/Plex server w/ downloading, does it make sense to go with a lower wattage PSU?
  
  
• Fit: From the Fractal Node 304 product page "ATX PSUs, up to 160mm in length (To fit in combination with a long graphics card, PSUs with modular connectors on the back typically need to be shorter than 160 mm)". The EVGA 600B is 140mm, should leave plenty of space for a GPU. We've done our due diligence here. Specs say it should fit with plenty of room to spare. If it still doesn't fit I'd be surprised, but nothing more you could have done.
  
• Wattage/Type: The EVGA is 600B is a nice quality budget power supply for the money. It's a nice wattage that isn't crazy overkill if you later add a powerful GPU for gaming. Note: The system is NOT using 600watts from the wall all the time. This is simply its maximum usage. You could get a smaller, slightly more efficient and modular unit. Combined with a short cable kit, it could make managing the cables easier in the little case. But the total $ cost would be more:
  
• Silverstone Modular 500W - $70
  
• Silverstone PP05E Short Cable set - $30
  
  
  > • Storage: Makes sense to go with the sata3. I originally thought that using the M.2 SSD on the Z97 Extreme4 would free up an additional port for a future HDD. But after reading further using the M.2 disabled one of the Sata3 ports anyway.
  
  
• Correct. M.2 is only worth it if space is at an extreme premium, or if you are using a PCIe M.2 SSD that can use all that additional bandwidth like the Samsung 950 Pro (Around 2x the $$).
  
  
  > • Case: Any similar case you can recommend? My local Micro Center(Paterson NJ) is sold out of the Fractal 304 mini.
  
  
• Doh! You can always order the Node 304 online for a $70 instead of the $60 deal Microcenter had. It's really the perfect small case for this type of build.
  
  
• Other similar dust filtered NAS/Gaming capable cases from Lian-Li and Silverstone are a bit more expensive (also may require a smaller SFX form factor power supply):

I have a Silverstone Strider ST85F-GS850w Gold Full Modular compact ATX power supply Link with the PP05-E Short Cable Kit ONLY Link, both in great condition in OG boxes for only $100 shipped. It was in a compact microATX case, hence the short cable kit. If you're using an ATX case, you can get nice colored sleeved extensions for cheap and they'll look awesome, lemme know

Is it safe to pack away all of my EVGA G3 cables and use these instead? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00H7Y3I4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_uZy3BbXN6RXP6
The G3 ones are really bulky and my case isn’t that great for cable management.

This is what I came up with. Went slightly overkill on some parts. I decided to go with an M-ATX build instead of an ITX build. This will give you some upgrade options later and still be fairly compact.
I have to put my rationale in a reply as I ran out of characters! :]

Note that the PC only comes to a total of ~$1400. But I included extra's as I did note that you were not using a great monitor and your mouse is broken and you asked for a headset. So I included all of this.

Can't find any, I think the best option is the flat cable kit, check if that power supply is compatible
