Im looking to purchase a mini PC for some gaming/programming/media streaming. I have roughly £800/£1000 to spend the specs i'm currently looking at are

Case: FRACTAL DESIGN NODE 304 Mini ITX Case
CPU: i5-7600 (3.5GHz)
Motherboard: ASUS ROG STRIX Z270I Gaming Mini ITX
RAM: 8gb corsair vengeance ddr4 2133mhz (2x4gb)
GPU: 4gb nvidia geforce gtx 1050 ti
1st HD: 250GB SSD Samsung 850
2nd HD: 1TB SATA-III HDD
Power Supply: Corsair 650W TXm Series (ultra quiet)
Cooler: Scythe

My main goals: quiet as will be in media setup (using 4k TV as monitor), able to do some basic video editing + streaming and play a few games mainly racing (F1, Dirt) and Football (FIFA (as I no longer have a console), FM)

Thanks

The Z270I costs about £110 more than the H110I-Plus and you're not using any of the features it offers vs the cheaper one.

If you were going for it for the wifi a USB adapter would probably be more cost effective.

You could switch to an i7 CPU instead which should be more futureproof for gaming and would help with things like compiling.

The 1050 ti is not at all good value when there's the GTX 1060 3gb for, last time I checked, £50 more. Might be worth saving up or extending the budget to fit that in.

The Node 304 has a footprint of 250mm x 374mm. The Fractal Define C has a footprint of 413mm x 210mm and would work out cheaper for a similar spec
