Help Building a SFF PC

[Circut]

Budget (including currency): $1200 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AAA games at 2k 60hz, Moderate Development work (Virtualization), no video or image rendering, no streaming.

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): No peripherals needed.

 

Hello,

 

I am planning on giving my computer to my wife and building a sff pc for myself. I can wait on deals and the Budget is a loose requirement.

 

I have never built a sff pc and wanted some help with getting a video card/ cpu cooler/ psu that fits in a nice looking sff pc case. I would like for the new computer to be nicer than my current computer (gtx1070, i5-8400, 32gb ram).

If the 3070 is a little overkill, waiting for a cheaper option like an RTX 3060 or something would be a compelling option.

That looks awesome thanks!

Side note: I like the cases like the ghost s1 although too expensive. Are there any other sff pc cases you would recommend? The smaller the better.

 

EDIT: Just saw your case recommendation. Will most gpu's fit in this?

Make sure you quote us so we can see your responses

 

The case I suggested will fit the 3070 FE, I don't know the dimensions of other cards but there's room for cards just under 270mm long so any cards below that size will fit
