I'd like to join, but can't play Minecraft untill my computor is built. ?

Basically the same for me. I'd never get rid of my old portable DVD player.
 
Also, I would NEVER get rid of any old device with a touchscreen now that I use TouchPortal.

Well, that's exactly what I was thinking of! Thank you!

I'm working on a part list for a somewhat theoretical build and would like some advice. Here's what I'm thinking at the moment:
 
My Goal: Create a semi-portable computor capable of runing most games reasonably well, of editing videos, and of being a general-use computor (web-browsing, word processing, opening files) at a reasonably cheap price (around $350?).
 
I know this probably sounds silly (or maybe not ?‍♂️), but I think it's almost achivable. One of the bigger issues is the portability requirement. However, I think if you were to make a custom case in which you could stack everything up (see image)  you could solve this issue.  These are the parts I've found so far:

So basically, I'm looking for ideas and cheap parts with a good value. If anyone has any feedback on this crazy, incomplete idea, I would really appreciate it. While deskotps are by far a better value than a comparable laptop as far as performance, the laptop still wins alot of the time because you can move it around.

Why not build something out of say a Dancase  A4-SFX or a Fractal Node 202?

What about Fiverr?

I'd like to join, but can't play Minecraft untill my computor is built. ?

I make money to keep people online, does that count?

Guess I'll go with the Gigabyte then. ?
 

Yah, I don't think there is much difference between the boards. Nothing that stands out to me anyway.
For memory I think 2ns of latency will more than be made up for by the additional clock speeds from 3200 to 3600, especially with Ryzen.

What about Fiverr?

So it looks like the ASUS Prime-P and the Gigabyte X570 GAMING X are the exact same price right now and I can't find any real differences from the Asus or Gigabit websites. Is there something I'm missing?
 
I think why I chose the 3600 memory is because of the greater latency (18 vs 16), but I never was able to figure out if latency is even something to worry that much about. I guess the greater clock speed makes up for that?

I would go with the Gaming X from Gigabyte instead, cheaper and has better VRMs over the Aorus elite so if you ever decide to dabble with overclocking you'll have a better experience. Also swapped the RAM for some LPX 3600 memory because it's $1 less than the 3200 kit.

Then again for the price point if VRM is a must concern the ASUS Prime-P wins the cake
