It's pretty. Not gonna lie tho, quad cores just feel all the uglier now that current gen pushed them out of the budget mainstream. Still, the 7600K is commendable, expecially at that clock speed.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

I like it. Clean and simple build. Minimal rgb nonsense.

sadly this is very true. i have an i5 7400 system that i used to use as my main system, and that thing is kinda painful to use. it plays games fine but playing games and doing anything else at the same time hits it hard.
