In any event, due to my enormous disrespect fot the Indio-cultural business aesthetic, a particular personal loathing of M$'s Natella along with the Windows 10 hoax he's trying to perpetrate, I've decided to hop off the, "process train to the infinitive", at 22nm junction. Perhaps better known as "Ivy Bridge Station".
To which end, I purchased a Samsung 850 "Evo" SSD 256GB on Black Friday, and a single fan EVGA 750 ti, this very week. This will allow me to brag incessantly about my boot times, and anyone looking into the side of my alleged "gaming case" (Cooler Master "Storm Scout"), will at least see a video card in the slot normally associated with that sort of thing.
Since the system's Ivy i3-3225 has only a 54 watt TDP, and the 750 is 60 watts max, I won't have to worry, I'm sure my little green Antec, "Earthwatts 380", should acquit itself admirably as, "the little PSU that could", and will fire the turkey up without complaint.
And for all intents and purposes, boyz & girlz, you won't be able to tell the damned thing from a "real computer"...
Hm, maybe I could find a local airbrush artist to paint, "The Crankenstein Monster" on the case, further emphasizing its latent ferocity.
In conclusion let me point out that the CPU world, is the only place in the actual world where, "lack of size matters".
