gotta have goals, something to work towards for your next big upgrade

 

do you plan on buying the ram new instead of used? Are you buying from the US?

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?

@Fasauceome I am buying it used for £17. I am buying from the UK. I am thinking, is it better to spend the money on a good case or good hardware ?

Well, from the looks of your budget constraints, the hardware is all you can get. The motherboard doesn't even have a PCIe x16 slot so you must be paying pretty little for that (also note it'll inhibit graphics card additions)
