My classmate Abby's system is 4 years old she wants to shrink the atx system and update as well. So we're here asking for suggestions for 3 items - (case, cpu and gpu) 

 

Case - itx, small, easy to carry, easy to maintain, white, sky blue or pink, must be able to fit at least 120mm radiator. 

( I'll paint it for her if can't get the right color.) 

CPU - (uses : streaming, gaming, YT Video editing, homework / school paper)

GPU - Must be small, white if possible, rgb, able to drive (1440p, 32 inch, 100hrtz)ultra-wide. 

(games : COD, Apex legends, Assassin's creed odyssey, Fortnight, Overwatch, Battlefield 1 and 5, GTA 5)

Best Value Build List

Budget 1080p System (RGB) : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7v2Lmq - (this build comes with two free games with the RX 570)

Most people don't know it comes in pink:

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163329

Out of stock at basically all retailers at the moment, but that was not the case previously, so there's a decent chance it's back in stock somewhat soon.

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

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Ouch, wow, that is ugly! ?

I don't believe there is a way to make a pastel pink box look good really. It's an admirable attempt though.

Not easy to maintain for her. 

I'm probably going to to use my air brush to paint it 

(Pink + pearl dust) 

Easy to maintain is more important for her.

Pastel pink doesn't look good in almost anything, though. The case would look much better, if it came in deep, shiny magenta. Though, if it was up to me, I'd probably have the front-fascia in black or give it a colour-gradient to add some contrast to it all.

What are some of the maintenance features you were looking for?

Well, the front intake of the SG13B is filtered, and the case slides open after removing 4 screws. Were you interested in thumb screws instead of standard Phillips?

Tooless would be better for her, I'd rather not have her call me "Deek how to open the case d>.<b" 

I don't want to travel 6 miles to open a PC case for her

You could always bust out the spray paint.

I prefer using my uncle's air brush gun it's more fun.
