I'd be very grateful to any suggestions on how to improve this build or if I've gone too high up on some of the parts.
Also, I've noticed there seems to be differences between the mini PC's that are available from the sections "Top Spec Mini PCs" and "Gaming Mini PC's". Is there a reason to why I can't access the cases "The Inwin Mini-ITX BM643 Case + 120W PSU" and "Thermaltake Element Q Mini-ITX Case + 200W PSU" on the Gaming PC section? Also why is the 3GB AMD RADEON™ HD7970 available for Top Spec Mini PCs but not Gaming Mini PC's?
If any tech wizard could please shed some light on the matter it would help a lot.
