These are pretty excellent prices

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 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Eh, I am not that impressed to be honest.

That is likely because of the prices of the CPU + Mobo + RAM. The RAM is not weirdly priced, most the CPU+mobo are.

 

You can get a Ryzen 2600 (4 threads more, faster single core speeds) + B450 Aorus M + 16GB DDR4 3000Mhz for 284 USD, compared to the 300 USD you paid for your set.

The SSD is alright, case I don't have much of an opinion on, the GPU is an interesting choice, but I don't have a negative thing to say about that. I think that's a solid choice for the price. The PSU I don't see a model, so can't comment on it, the cooler would not have been needed with the Ryzen lineup I suggested and thus thermal paste too.

 

So I give it an 'alright' (assuming USD pricing) out of ten.

GPU price looks pretty good, though its not exactly at all power efficient so it might dissipate a lot of heat. Other specs look ok as well. Though i'm not sure what the model of the PSU is for $40 used would perform.
