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.

I was looking at this pc and wondering if I should order or I can find something better if I build it myself here’s the pc

The question is, do you want to be known as John the buyer?

You could probably build a better or at the very least newer and equivalent PC at the same price point. Those older parts are probably used too so...

edit: an extra note on this, I would avoid building a computer without at least 6 threads, preferably 8 or more considering what newer game engines are able to leverage

Also that build cost tho, $100? I only charge 8% of the parts cost, so if you bought this PC from me it would run you $470 plus whatever shipping and tax.

Although with shipping and tax this might creep a bit over $600 so going with an RX 580 would be a great swap.

Would go for a 2600 over a 1600 tbh. And look at used vega 56 cards they go for the same price as the 1660 here. And I know that can run those games because that’s what I used to have for 1440p.

I put the 12nm 1600 in there, not the 14nm, so it behaves quote a lot like the 2600
