One of the more fantastic setups I've seen, that is impressive!

Wait... you seem to be the one that obviously didn't watch the whole video, their conclusions and recommendations are clear. I'm also the one offering considerate and helpful advice that is take it or leave it but never the less it is a small effort to help. You on the other hand are the one being condescending.

Very Good looking, very clean setup, well done. But... Your radiator is oriented wrong, tubes always on the bottom, never the highest point of the rad.

There are 2 options to finding answers apart from guessing: 1:There are Web applications like this one : https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator 2: There is AMD's minimum PSU recommendation for the card you're looking at which comes out to 650watt minimum.

My own personal thoughts for you: My Personal Build for you: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ 1: Z790 and 13600k are likely a better choice for most of what you're describing as a use case, the higher clock speeds and comparably high thread counts will work better than the 12700k IMO. 2: Monitors: if possible go 144hz refresh rate with Freesync compatability, HIGH refresh with Freesync is FANTASTIC, the BEST user experience upgrade I've had recently. 3:I'm a big fan of the Very small form factor Lian Li A4, worth checking out, may not be your thing. 4: with DDR5 currently, 6000+ speeds are great for Intel platforms, a little technical here BUT, finding memory with CL30 or CL32 is your best choice while refraining from CL36-36-36. REASON: the 30 and 32 are likely SK Hynix M or A die (likely M) while the 36's are Samsung memory, CURRENTLY the SKhynix memory is the best available, for much information and rambling SEE Buildzoid from Actually Hardcore Overclocking and his video HERE:

Overall the only concern i have with your build is the Power supply, I would Highly recommend if possible going with a different PSU. Look through this list on the forums and pick something that fits your price range and is of the best quality you can get.

Unfortunately Either of these leave out a Graphics Card upgrade. If you're willing to purchased Used parts via Ebay or similar, your options will increase drastically and the prices will be more palatable. For example Used GTX1070 GPUs will sell for $100-120, these will certainly supply your desired Graphics performance. While 3-5 generation old Motherboard/CPU/Ram sets can sell on ebay in the $200- 500 range depending upon quality of components. This route may be beneficial to you or too intimidating. The Graphics card option is likely your best bet for a solid Graphics performance jump for the smallest dollar investment. This is all stuff for you to decide upon.

Here's an AMD centric Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

Much of this depends upon what precisely you are willing to do. The 750Ti is certainly reusable but will not likely give you the graphics performance that you're looking for. The ddr3 is potentially reusable but would require a Processor and Motherboard that uses ddr3. The Power supply is very low wattage and (for me at least) very suspect in quality. The DVD writer is fine to be reused. The Case is very reusable if your content with it. To keep costs down and decisions logical I would recommend considering a few things.: the CPU, Motherboard and Ram are likely not worth the compromises needed to reuse any of them. Here's a PCPartPicker link to a build I put together, this may help you with a starting point for things to consider. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9sFYKp

Overall it's a fine build. With the exception of the PSU. Please don't go cheap on the PSU. Troubleshooting them REALLY sucks, they can kill components, they are VITAL to a properly working PC but most often overlooked because they're not glamorous. BUT the PSU is the foundation that you build the rest of the PC off of, if it fails the rest of the PC crumbles. IMO: Gold rated, Name brand, 750watt PSU Corsair, EVGA, Silverstone are all decent brands. Checkout the PSU tier list on the LTT forums:

Not seeing anything wrong, I'm not familiar with the programs that you'll be using and whether additional system Ram would be helpful or if additional V-ram would be helpful. Unfortunately upgrading ram in ITX means replacing the old ram due to there only being 2 dimm slots. What i'm saying, is it may be worthwhile to research whether additional System memory would be prudent and whether your GPU choice (Nvidia or AMD) is best for your 3D modeling program.

Overall looks fine, you can always upgrade your CPU down the line if you cant get a better one now. 500Gb might be a bit small? depends on how many games you want installed. 12100f:

Your build looks great, having additional case fans to match the H100i will be good. HOWEVER: to quote Toms Hardware: "Most (if not all) 600 series boards have BIOS updates available that add Alder(Raptor) Lake support, but you need to be able to download and install those updates before you try to boot with a 13th Gen Raptor Lake CPU. If you have access to an older Intel 12th Gen “Alder Lake” CPU, you can put the older CPU in the board, boot into and update the BIOS in the UEFI interface (see how to enter the BIOS if you don’t know how to get there), and then you should be good to go. But most people buying a Raptor Lake CPU and new motherboard today don’t have a last-gen processor just lying around the house. if you want to buy a 600 series motherboard to use with a Raptor Lake CPU, your best bet is to buy a model with BIOS Flashback, a feature that allows you to update the BIOS with no CPU installed at all." I DID NOT see your motherboard on the list of boards with Bios Flashback capability. you may want to investigate this, and possibly choose a different board or move up to a Z790 board. Link Here:https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-600-series-boards-for-raptor-lake

Like most of the build. BUT, i don't think you're going to find ANY new RTX3080 for $600. If you do find one, please, show me the link.

Yes, Any Z690 will do overclocking.

Performance comparison for the AK620, it will be fine for mild overclocking, which I assume will be your intent.

You'll not be overclocking the CPU unless you spend more money on a Z690 motherboard, Overclocking the Graphics card can be done on any system.

Take a look at this: this might be a bit better. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/62nTgb

You're not stupid, it's a valid question that will be hard to answer without the components in hand to test fitment. Myself... I would be willing to take the chance that i may have to make some slight modifications to the components that I want with a reasonable expectation that it will end in success. 1mm is not much, looking at the pictures for the gaming x trio it appears that the backplate is the part that protrudes the furthest out in the length of the card. I would be willing to test fit the card and if necessary remove and modify the back plate from the card to shorten the length. When it comes to sound level in any pc there are a few rules to take advantage of to keep noise down. 1: Reduce power consumption by undervolting or power limiting to lower the amount of heat the PC needs to handle 2: Run fans SLOW, turn your fan curves down till you achieve the sound level that you want, this will inherently mean that temperatures may be slightly higher(see 80-90C) which is perfectly fine for the components but some users don't like temps above 70C 3: the BIGGEST coolers you can fit will help the slow fans dissipate more heat despite the lower airflow. When it comes to cases this means going one path or the other, Either: 1. a restrictive case that baffles and reduces sound but also restricts airflow 2: a well ventilated case that relies upon SLOW fans and UNrestricted airflow to keep noise and temps down. I personally prefer the second option as you can choose to either keep noise low via fan speed and reducing power consumption OR you can keep the airflow and then overclock to your hearts content if you start to not care about noise.

If you're dead set on the open air PC case then you'll be building around the limitations of that case in many ways. if you're willing to consider other SFF pc cases something like the Lian-Li A4 H2O could open up many more possibilities by making your power supply options much greater due to SFX and SFX-L options and availability It would also be more compatible with larger GPU's due to the larger physical space within the case (as opposed to the card hanging way off the end of the open air case) https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Lf4R9r

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vrfYY9 Just a thought that this may be a decent choice for you: a 2 TB NVME or larger may be optimal for you since it appears that storage expansion will be a serious issue in the future, best to go with the biggest drive you can get. the a 3060ti is technically the highest performance GPU you can fit with a 600 watt power supply, a Zotac 3070 may be possible if you can find a 650watt or 700 watt Flex Atx power supply (nvidia recommends a 650w psu)

Some concerns here but better overall: 1: this PC case is VERY SFF a smaller GPU would be advised 2: this PC case requires the Power supply he listed the SFX psu in this pc part picker will NOT fit in the case

Without EXPO support on the memory it's tough to say what it will be capable of. That specific memory is very likely using Samsung memory dies, which at the current moment are considered of lower performance than the possibly currently best option for AMD which is SK Hynix M die memory. Here is a long, rambly, but incredibly informative video from Actually Hardcore Overclocking talking about the current state of the DDR5 Memory market. He discusses the benefits and drawbacks of memory from the various manufacturers, How to spot most reliably which brand of memory chips are most likely present on any given memory module. Highly recommended before you buy.

Seems like a decent upgrade, If a 3700 was also an option on the table I would consider that too.

You are correct, but, The point of a full throttle comparative test is not necessarily to be a good judge of daily usage, just as a 1/4mile drag race is not a good judge of your daily usage experience for your car, but it does offer a comparative insight putting apples against apples as part of getting the most complete picture of performance.
