Budget (including currency): 300 CAD Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, Valheim, eventually more demanding games and school work. Other details (1660TI, I5 9600k, 550W PSU) Hey guys, So I've upgraded my gaming PC and got 1660TI, a i5 9600k, a 550W PSU to spare so I'm looking into building a computer for my kids who's going to play mostly Minecraft and Valheim. I was looking into 1151 socket motherboards and realized that they were way rarer or more expansive than I thought they would be. Found a microATX for 60$, but I don't know much about the different sizes of mobo, should I go micro? Thanks

Is the ASUS TUF GAMING B450M-PLUS II a good board? CPU will be R7 2700 at stock settings. I was looking for the Asrock B450M Steel Legend, but some people say that board has lots of issues. I remember that Buildzoid recommended this TUF board as an alternative for Micro-ATX builds.

Budget (including currency): $989.22 USD Country: Singapore Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I plan on buying this for my father's birthday so he can have an upgrade to his macbook and something which we can game together better on. Possible games are : War Thunder, EVE online, Space Engineers. I think the most intensive workload would be many excel/google sheets, but I already know this PC is more than capable to handle it. Other details This is the pc build i have done on Newegg : Dad's pc. The main reason why I am asking here is if I can somehow lower the cost without compromising much on performance. The other reason is that I am unsure of if everything fits together and works and if there are any main issues with it. Thanks in advance The resolution will be 1080/1440p and on a single monitor. 60 Hz refresh rate is fine and is what I use anyway

Let me start from saying that I'm not sure if this is even possible I'm looking for a small case for a home server build to replace my old HP Microserver Gen8. Initially I looked at Silverstone DS380B as I was exploring an ITX build. However, I ran into severe limitations of ITX: ITX + Ryzen isn't a good combination with just one PCIe I can run it daily without a GPU it adds another headache if I need to change anything in the BIOS APU isn't a solution as then I cannot get ECC Coolers clearance Because of these I started swinging towards microATX instead (price of motherboards being a factor as well). I have very loose specs for the case: microATX 3.5" bays - the more the better, I don't care if they're hot swappable/externally accessible Must fit in 13x13x15" space (33.6 x 33.6 x 39cm) to get the Wife Seal of Approval™ Can be ugly (i.e. if I can spare on a great look I will) I'm not concerned about cooling (and definitely I don't need to go water) as I'm not throwing a GPU worth more than $20 there and CPU will be used mostly in bursts. I tried looking through PCPP but there's really no way to filter by the external size. Can someone recommend any case fitting the criteria?

Hello everyone! My build is going through some changes. To be honest, its going to be almost a complete new build as the only the PSU and SSD will be kept because they were upgraded recently. Im switching to a Ryzen 7 3700x on a B550 Mortar Wifi (mATX) with 32Gb of 3200mhz. Ill keep my 1060 while no new midrange cards are available but planning to go to a 3060ti or something of that sort. Now comes the most important part, the case. My current case is a Fractal design Focus G and it would do great with those parts, Im just bored of the case and really dont like seeing mATX boards on a ATX case, so here I am asking for case recommendations. Thank you everyone! TLDR; need recommendations for mATX cases

Peace everyone, I'm new here and trying to build myself a budget gaming pc. I've found myself a good deal on Intel core i3 9100f with an Asus H110M-K micro-ATX Intel LGA1151 Motherboard. With an asus rx580 dual OC. Can someone please tell me how your experiences were with Intel 9100f core i3? Highly appreciated.

Help: Case and Motherboard advice/recommendations
WeeemRCB posted a topic in New Builds and Planning
I need some help in choosing a case and motherboard for a new PC build. I'm looking to replace my Laptop which hasn't moved from my desk for 3+ years and making a mini-pc is the way I want to go as at least I can upgrade parts in the future (cue laptop regret). I've specced out some basic parts already for this new system so you can see where I'm going with the build: PCPartPicker Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 1660 Super 6 GB Phoenix OC Video Card Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA P2 650 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply 4k Monitor: tbd Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-12-11 14:28 GMT+0000 PC use: It'll need to be power efficient and it's not intended for gaming. Instead, it'll be used for some data crunching / compiling, some VM, video editing, plex media server and as an encoding/streaming PC. Currently I game and stream from the same PC. My i7-6850 does it, but limited encoding and there a noise cost. I'd likely keep an underclock profile in the BIOS for 90% of use during daily menial tasks and then an overclock profile for when I'm working on a project and need to unleash the full Ryzen potential. Kinda similar to the system in the > We built a PC more efficient than a console! < video that LTT recently released. The space I have is fairly limited which is why I'd love to have a small form factor case like a Parvum Systems case or Ncase M1 But the only problem I have with that (other than the 2x cost of MiniITX) is that I wouldn't have any space to put my Elgato card for game capture The smallest Micro ATX case I could find was the InWin 301, but surely there's smaller options than that? Can anyone recommend a small case that would fit a MicroATX or is my only option a MiniITX and using OBS NDI for game capture? -
Here is my build: PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor $185.99 @ Amazon Motherboard Gigabyte X570 GAMING X ATX AM4 Motherboard $169.99 @ Amazon Memory Kingston HyperX Predator 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory $101.93 @ Amazon Storage Transcend 256 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive $39.49 @ Amazon Storage Toshiba P300 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive $84.58 @ Amazon Video Card Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER 8 GB GAMING OC Video Card Case be quiet! Dark Base 700 ATX Mid Tower Case $189.90 @ Amazon Power Supply Cooler Master VS 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $771.88 Generated by PCPartPicker 2019-11-30 16:49 EST-0500 First of all, will it even work? Will I have any problems? I initially planned on adding MSI B450 Gaming Plus instead, but I read that there are some problems with updating the BIOS without an older CPU, so I thought that it is safer to change it to x570 instead. Is it a real problem? Should I keep it as it is, or is it fine to buy b450? Also, I think about buying Valve Index sometime later, probably when HL: Alyx will come out. Do you think this build is enough to play it? Thanks

Haven't been in the hardware loop for a long while but I was just wondering if there were any good micro atx x570 boards? I looked around but really didn't find a good range of options. I want to use a 3rd gen Ryzen CPU but I'm not too sure about compatibility with B450 micro atx boards which is why I've been holding on. Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated! ?

I'm going to be upgrading a lot of PC parts soon and I need a new case to put them in because I am tired of mini-itx. It's hard for me to do anything in because I have thick fingers but I know that I can deal with micro-atx much easier. If anyone has any good recommendations, I am all ears, especially if you can talk about your own experiences with it. I do have some guidelines though. Side panel, preferably tempered glass Filtered intakes Comes with at least an exhaust fan. An intake would be great but not super necessary. Decent space behind the motherboard for routing cables Not over 100 US dollars RGB would also be nice but that's an extra thing that I'd be willing to go without if there's no case that can stay within the price range and fulfill the other guidelines.

Hi everyone, new to the forum here and wanted to get some thoughts on this MicroATX build I've been eagerly planning for a while now! Here's the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/dsp94/saved/#view=DxPQqs Bear in mind the PSU and GPU are from my current setup. I don't really have the budget to upgrade my GPU at the moment so I'm planning on keeping this as is. Would be great to hear your thoughts on potential compatibility / bottlenecking issues in case there may be something I'm missing or have overlooked. If there are any potential savings I could make that'd also be great to hear. Thanks guys!

I just wanna see people's opinions on my build (anything you would replace, add or remove completely as well as other comments). This setup is just to play CS:GO and RB6, so i'm not trying to get a AAA contender, just a nice rig to muck around on.

Are there any all-white AM4 motherboard that are Micro ATX that are still available? All of the ones I have seen are Intel coffee lake, or the AMD ones are not available any more. The only place I can find them are amazon in different European countries. Thoughts Please? Just trying to find a white motherboard to fit my Corsair 280X.

Hi, I'm looking for a matx motherboard for Ryzen but there aren't many options to choose from. Should I go ATX? I also might want to overclock.

Hey guys I was looking at the Corsair 280x case, and I really like it. It's not that it is out of my budget range, but I was wondering if there were any similar matx cases out there you guys would personally vouch for. The two features that stand out to me are: -Dual chambered design/or sectioned design -Small form factor Any thoughts?

hello im christian dumdum i studied entrepreneurship here in the Philippines. im starting my own business soon its a computer case . currently im thinking about creating a compact microATX case since there are many manyyyy compact pc case for miniATX users. i was hoping if you have suggestions for my scratch design . im having trouble with two video card support but bigger case ( a bit expensive to create ) or one video card with smaller case. ( cheaper to create ) (note: im not a graphic designer or what im just a modder or pc builder who wants something different and want to create a business with it but will do better soon if its finalized ) update: updated layout

I've been looking for a decent with a few bells and whistles for around $100 for the past few months and I just can't find anything that clicks with me, I'm looking for either a matx or an atx case, does not need RGB, bonus points for fan controller included, and a semisimple look such as the Corsair MasterBox Q300L, or the Fractal Design Define series. I'm buying everything on black friday so I can over a little bit, thanks in advance.

Ive been hunting along alot of forums and there's too many conflicting answers and not many seem to have the same issue as me: assuming budget isn't a limiting factor what is the best mobo for overclocking on the 1151 socket? I already made a mistake of getting confused and accidently getting a baord with alot less oc potential than I'd like and I dont wanna screw it up again (Got this https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIAD7H6NW4992 on accident cause I spent so long running through forums in my barely awake state I decided THIS was the one and when I woke the next morning I never bothered to actually look closely, so if anyone needs one below NewEgg pricing I gotchu). Just for the sake of being thorough I'm rocking a delidded and liquid metaled 8600k with the dark rock pro 4 as my behemoth of a cooler, also preferrably the more nuetral colours on the board the better.... got a black, grey, and white astetic goin. Thanks for any advice!

Hi everyone I am building a micro atx build with these parts: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor ($165.99 @ Amazon) Motherboard: Asus - PRIME B450M-A/CSM Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($79.99 @ Amazon) Memory: Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4-3000 Memory ($160.99 @ Newegg) Storage: ADATA - Ultimate SU800 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($57.89 @ OutletPC) Video Card: Asus - Radeon RX 580 8GB DUAL Video Card ($239.99 @ Newegg) Case: Rosewill - FBM-05 MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($19.99 @ Amazon) Power Supply: Corsair - VS 550W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply ($39.89 @ OutletPC) Total: $764.73 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2018-08-06 18:46 EDT-0400 All in all it cost me 743 USD to buy the parts and they apparently all shipped within 3 hours of ordering. A couple of potentially (obvious) questions: I plan of course on undervolting the GPU to help reduce thermal throttling. But anyone with this card, mind telling me or posting HWinfo or something about thermals? I've read mixed reviews about it, almost 50/50 split on being a decent card and being a below average card. It is a small case with likely little airflow, despite what Rosewill has on their descriptions. I have some arctic silver paste I plan on re-pasting the CPU wit after I clean it with a cleaning kit. Has anyone built in this case or a similar case before? Any case mods or tips to help with thermals? Hopefully it won't be too bad as I believe the most "intensive" game I am planning on playing is Overwatch (?) I thought about maybe drilling or adding some extra perforations to the side panel? I'll try to update this thread when I'm building. First micro atx build so hopefully it goes well. Cheers!

I’m having trouble finding a Dual PC case that can house an ATX and a micro ATX motherboard. I’m not keen on spending 900 usd on an enthoo case. Any help would be awesome. I’m also considering building my own dual pc case if i cant find what im looking for, any advice in that would be great as well. Thanks LTT forumers!

the question is simple "Does small motherboard like microATX can be heated easier than ATX?" I'm sorry if there were lots and lots of this kind of question but i couldn't be able to find them at all I tried find them earlier but they are kinda old said it's true. So, I'm not sure if those answers still true for now. Thanks in advance.
