Posted July 14, 2020 I'm not sure if that cooler will fit in those cases, may want to switch to the NH-L9A. Are you able to find any of those cases in stock? They're typically made in really low numbers and sell out like immediately. If you have any other questions about sff pcs, check out r/sffpc for either ideas or comparisons of parts, combinations, and sources for those rare cases. edit: If you don't want to wait, check out Sliger cases. They have some really nice itx options and appear to have the manufacturing means that other itx case companies don't. Their prices are also pretty reasonable on cases like the Console and SM560.

Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) PCPartPicker Part List Type Item Price CPU AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor $259.99 @ Amazon CPU Cooler Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 37.8 CFM CPU Cooler $63.89 @ Amazon Motherboard Asus ROG STRIX B550-I GAMING Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard $229.99 @ B&H Memory Crucial Ballistix 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory $92.99 @ Amazon Storage ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive $259.99 @ Amazon Video Card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER 8 GB Video Card $699.99 @ Best Buy Power Supply SeaSonic FOCUS SGX 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular SFX Power Supply $144.98 @ Newegg Prices include shipping, taxes, rebates, and discounts Total $1751.82 Generated by PCPartPicker 2020-07-14 14:30 EDT-0400 Much better board and memory, much cheaper and similarly performing SSD and power supply, and a 2080 Super instead of the 2070 Super (though waiting for Ampere/RDNA2 would be recommended). I would've gone for the X570-I, as normally it's only $20 more expensive and has quite a lot beefier of a power delivery, but even the B550-I will be fine with a 3950X at stock speeds. Also, with a 500 series board you don't have to worry whether it's ready to run with Ryzen 3000 out of the box. Edit: I just now noticed you mentioned that you're in Switzerland, so all the prices are in USD and are taken from US retailers. My bad.

Posted July 14, 2020 Oh another thing I noticed, @Mateyyy added a B550 motherboard over a 450, that's a good catch as it'll be compatible with a 3000 series CPU out of the box, but I think the Gigabyte B550 itx board is a little cheaper. I would choose the Gigabyte board over the Asus to save a couple bucks unless you're tied to the Asus for some reason. ASU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is I only have a gtx 980ti which is three slots high and want to build a small itx build with a two slot gpu. And honestly waiting over 2 months for it not sure if I want to do that. Idk.

I actually haven't managed to look into Gigabyte's ITX B550 board(s) yet, so I mostly put in the Strix B550-I since I know it's good even for a 3950X, though that could also very well be a solid option. 5 minutes ago, Doublemeter2m said: Thing is I only have a gtx 980ti which is three slots high and want to build a small itx build with a two slot gpu.

Alternatively, you could get something like a 1660 Super now, sell that when the next-gen GPUs launch and upgrading then. If I had to guess, RTX 2000 series cards won't have a great resell value since you'll very likely be getting a lot more for your money with the new GPUs, but more mid-range option like the 1660 series won't really have a competitor pricing-wise, since we'll first be getting more high-end cards (probably 3080Ti, 3080 and 3070, for Nvidia).

Think thats also a solid option to get me going with a solid low end gpu for cs in the meantime. mateyyy doing gods work here. thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
