Would an TX550M be more suitable?

Any particular reason for going with the corsair? Also, using a psu calculator, the maximum wattage is calculated at around 285W. I see 500W recomended for 1070, so why shouldn't a 550W-600W psu be enough?

Between Be Quiet System Power 9 CM 600W, and Corsair CX550M, which one should I choose? I will be powering a Ryzen 5600X, with a GTX1070

I am not that good with Fusion, I will go with it and if they don't fit, I can always increase one dimension For front I/O I have usb 3.0 cable with 2 3.0 ports that can be panel mount, and for power button I will get one of those chrome big metal buttons. No reset button. I might add some led strip on the underside for underglow.

I was worried about this, but the PSU is Semi-Modular, and as a result I have to worry only for 3 cables, and I think there is enough room because of the way the PSU is oriented

After some adjustments, I have 15mm clearance between HDD and the pcb. If the tray is made of 3mm aluminium panel, are the remaining 12mm adequate? The motherboard I will be using doesn't have an m.2 slot on the underside, but I should future proof it. EDIT: After a quick search, it seems that the minimum standof height is 6.35mm, so I guess I am good.

This is an "HDD", and yes, I will probably remove it, or move it directly behind the motherboard, and bring the motherboard a few mm forward. That would be a good idea, indeed.

The cheapest SFX PSU at 450W I can find in my country is 81 euros, and I am on a tight budget. Plus I already have the CX550M from my current build, so unfortunately a new PSU is not an option for me.

I was going to use an extension and bring the power socket to the back, the PSU can come down a bit so that there will not be a power cord sticking out the top. I haven't designed the panels yet, which will be 3d printed

Hi, I am new around here, so I hope this is the correct place for this type of post. I recently decided to go to an itx build, for portability reasons, and I want to build my own case, from 20x20 slot 6 aluminium extrusions, and some 3d printed parts from ABS. The tray of the motherboard will probably be made of sheet of aluminium. I will be upgrading to a Ryzen 5600X (stock cooler), 16gb ram, Asrock B550M-ITX/ac. I already have a GTX 1070 cooled with an 120mm AIO (Thermaltake), which complicates things a bit, and a CX550M semi-modular PSU. The layout I came up with is shown in the pictures. I am mostly concerned about the placement of the GPU radiator. Is the 28.8mm clearance from the back of the PSU enough? Should I rotate my PSU so that the intake is directly behind the radiator, or this would provide the PSU with too much hot air? The body at the back of the case is a possible place for an 3.5inch HDD. P.S. This is my first attempt at designing a case .

Thanks for answering. About the CPU, the minimum spec seems to be Core 2 Duo, and I will be getting a Core 2 Quad, with 8gb ram. I'd like to try and host the server myself, and it's not like the hardware (A 12$ cpu) will be bought just for that. Might as well be used as a download machine, server, or in the living room. Regarding, bedrock, it seems that redstone is working a bit different. And I don't need the cross platform support, as we all play on PCs. If it all goes wrong performance wise though, I might give it a try.

Oh, so I guess I should go for the Q9500. Yeah, I am aware of the poor optimization of newer versions, and I will surely experiment at first. Thanks a lot!

It's an E4600, which scores significantly lower at single core.

Hi, I recently got my hands on a Nec Powermate ML470 with a crappy older Core Duo, and I'd like to update the cpu, so that I can host a Minecraft server. I have a total of 8 gigs of ddr2 800mhz ram, and an SSD. Should I get the Q9500, which is a quad core, or the E8600, which runs at 3.3ghz, instead of the 2.83ghz of the Q9500, and scores about 300 point higher in single core, according to passmark's chart? [I don't think that OC is an option, with this motherboard that this machine have (MSI MS-7377 Rev. 1.2)]. I have read that a Minecraft Server does not utilize multiple threads very well, and I am wondering if the extra 2 cores would benefit it at all. (The server will be having about 10 people, and will not be running any mods. My internet connection is 50down/5up)
