looking at your signature i assume you already have a display and peripherals. for under 900 CAD all brand new this is the best you can get.

I think this is the best you can get for 900 CAD if you're not getting new peripherals, however i'd keep both your case and your psu

Sorry guys, no monitors or peripherals. Just the system. I’m selling my current system for a new one.

Will you be buying a new graphics card or have you considered used?

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
