It's quite a good list, but you can afford a 1660 super for the price of that 5500 XT. For reference, the 5500 XT performs roughly equally to the 1650 super, which sells for about $160

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?

Your saying that the 1660 super is eqaul to the 5600xt?

Overall very good.

You can get the memory a bit cheaper from here: https://www.newegg.com/g-skill-16gb-288-pin-ddr4-sdram/p/N82E16820232882

the MSI A-PRO Max is IMO better looking (especially if you're going for a color-neutral build, is $5 cheaper, and has the same VRM.

Good PSU choice, but you could save like $20 by going for something like a corsair CXM -- not necessarily a better option, just something to think about.

 

GPU is really the big one here. You should totally get a 1660 Super if you can. Maybe with some saving and/or stretching your budget, you could fit in a 2060 Super, but that really might be a stretch.

Can you think of another way to say money or any improvements. Thanks this stuff is really expensive in Europe.

Your original selection of the 5500 XT should just be replaced by a 1650 super, if that is available to you. What part of Europe?

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

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

No sorry I meant to put the 5700XT not the 5500. Im just very tired.

I understand now. 

 

In that case, the only reasonable performance alternative is the 2070 super, but that's usually more expensive. Your parts list looks quite good.

What country?

I've been optimizing with US PC partpicker, but you can change PC partpicker regions and see which parts are cheapest for you locally
