Help with an Mini ITX Upgrade

RockJockie · August 31, 2020

Budget (including currency): $600 US (Graphics card) ~$200 US for other components

Country: United States of America

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Cyberpunk 2077 and very light point cloud computing

Other details I am upgrading my mini ITX set up for 2020. I am not looking to make major upgrades like the case, power supply, or motherboard. The goal is to be able to have high settings (including ray tracing) on Cyberpunk 2077. By shooting for that goal I am hoping to also encompass other AAA games such has Horizon Zero Dawn.

I also use this computer to do light point cloud editing (LiDAR and multibeam sonar work). The primary goal is gaming since I have an office computer that can handle the editing. I have only been using my personal PC for work since the pandemic.

I own all of my other peripherals (144hz gaming monitor, loud cherry mx blue keyboard, and mouse)

I am looking for graphics card recommendations and other component upgrades that can fit my build. Thanks for taking the time to look over my set up. Here is my computer as it stands today
