[dragonerosso]

hi guys,
i'm planning to build a new mini itx pc with
dan a4-sfx
corsair sf450
i5 6600
8gb hyperx savage
ssd hyperx savage 120
noctua l9i
for motherboard i was undecided bteween msi h170i pro ac and asus b150i aura.
i'm not planning to do overclock so what do you think? which is better or if you can recommend another mb i would be happy

I believe H170 would be the better choice as I don't think the B150 chipset can handle M.2 SSDs at full speed (ie. They use PCIe 2.0 x 4). The H170 should support the newer 32 GB/s transfer speed M.2 drives. This is just a future proofing thing.

i don't think to use a m.2 ssd...i prefer a sata ssd in firm and probably i'll add or 2 512gb ssd or 1 tb 2,5 hdd.
these are asus specs

the difference between mobos is only 20 euro...which is better quality?

B150 has fewer PCIe lanes from the chipset, so there may be conflicts if your I/O is close to populated. To be fair, Z170 has more PCIe lanes from the chipset as H170, but depending on the model, Z170 is like a $50 to $100 price premium over H170.

I think to use only gtx 1080 as pcie 8x

That's the one on my shopping list. Let us know how it works out.

What components will you plan to use for your build?

 

[jtd871]

DAN A4-SFX case, Corsair SF450, i5-6600, Cryorig C7, GTX1060 (probably EVGA SSC for the extra fan, depending on pricing), Samsung 850 Pro 512GB (unless the 950 Pro gets significantly cheaper), 16GB RAM and the aforementioned MSI H170i Pro AC.

nice very similar to mine...but i 've recently bought a Silverstone sfx500w-lg v2.0 with new regulation fan speed 750w rpm minimum and better airflow coomponents in substitution of sf450 by corsair. i choose this new psu for bigger fan dimensions so less noise. i thought that in this way dan a4 sfx would be heavier.
dan a4 silver or black?

Silver, natch. Hides dust better than black.
