Legit Reviews posted their 2012 Budget Mini-ITX Desktop PC System Build Guide

Earlier this year I wrote up an article on how to build an Small Form Factor (SFF) PC that could rival nearly any full tower PC on the market. When I started that build I focused on integrating the following components into a tiny PC.

Mini-ITX Mainboard & Case
Intel Ivy Bridge CPU Powered
Intel Z77 Express Chipset
NVIDIA Kepler Video Card
USB 3.0 and SATA III Devices
Water Cooled

The end result was an epic mini-ITX PC, but it ended up costing just under $3000 to build. Since that article was published in May 2012, I have always wanted to do another to show what you can build on a budget. The year is over, so I figured that there is no better time than now!
