Build log and review of my new Mini-ITX gaming rig. Video covers building in the Corsair Obsidian 250D Mini-ITX case. It also covers component selection and review of the case, the EVGA Z170 Stinger Mini-ITX motherboard, and EVGA SuperNOVA 1050 GS Power Supply.
I look at environmental improvements (size, heat, noise) moving from my old rig (AMD FX-9590 and Radeon R9 295x2) to this new build, as well as performance differences and improvements.
