A better GPU could reasonably be thrown in, such as an RX 480/580.

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?

Im, honestly impressed with Warzone running that well, my 1050 ti couldnt handle it that well thats why I upgraded it. How about another harddrive if you are happy with your game perfomances? If you think its not needed just save the money first

I reccomend getting another ssd or hard drive because 18 are really too little

That's ram not storage

Welp i'm gonna go kill myself see ya

Seriously speaking, that's an odd number of ram,i think that could cause problems with performance too.

I would say to lower it to 16 (2 gb less of ram doesn't feel different)

Or if you REALLY want more ram at least make it 32

It's probably 3x6GB or something, classic X58 triple channel
