pretty terrible PSU. Is this for a gaming PC? If so, the SSD is far too expensive. The water cooler is rather useless, not any better than the stock cooler, and the motherboard can be reduced in price as well for a similarly performing option.

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?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Gaming and streaming would perform quite well on a Ryzen 5 3600. On top of that, if you save money you can afford the rtx 2060 or better, which have a Turing encoder so you still get decent stream quality off the GPU instead of CPU.
