Really powerful mini ITX build

RGB Toilet

Posted

Budget (including currency):

None, just want a slim and really fast computer money can buy

 

Country: 

Hong Kong (Currently visiting)

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 

Stock trading and lots of graph viewing

 

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): 

Only used for stocks / trading and lots of graph / charts viewing. Dual maybe triple monitor setup, 60hz is fine.

No custom loop but AIO would be nice. Will not be OCing

The most important part is it has to be small, mini itx preferred.

Fastest CPU / Ram if possible

Wont be gaming at all, maybe a GTX 1660TI (?) only there for the IO.

 

 

Thanks guys, really appreciate it!

 

Update, I would like to include a 10900 or something better as the program is actually really CPU intensive (correct me if im wrong) as it is generating data in real time for multiple if not 10 + charts.

Eh. The CPU cooler isn’t great, and the ram is way to overkill. He really doesn’t need anything over 3000mhz.

An AIO is a waste of money considering your not OCING and not doing any gaming or major productivity tasks

Thanks for the suggestion, I was originally going for an 10900 so its quite interesting to see an 10400 on the list. To my knowledge the graph / chart programs can be rather demanding because they are generating info in real time. But thanks for the suggestion though

The 10700K build doesn't require a GPU, but the 5600X has stronger single thread performance. The 1050 TI is the cheapest GPU I could find with 3 total Display Ports and HDMI ports.

havent really seen much of the Team MP34, are they reliable? Because I was gunna go for a 970 EVO 1TB and after searching up the price the 970 was only 20 bucks more expensive than the Team MP34.

Both are TLC NAND with DRAM cache, and would perform functionally identically. If you are more comfortable with the Samsung, then go for it. It's your money 😉.

Both are TLC NAND with DRAM cache, and would perform functionally identically. If you are more comfortable with the Samsung, then go for it. It's your money 😉.

I just feel that I would get more support from Samsung if something was to go wrong. Also this is a no budget build, I was going to spend at least 5 to 7 grand on this PC as the risk of failure would cost me way more.

This is as small as it will get. I chose the 3700X cuz 8 cores @ 65W, which is the max I'd use the NH L9a for. 

 

This computer is tiny, so if you want better CPU cooling you'll need to increase the size

The 10700K build doesn't require a GPU, but the 5600X has stronger single thread performance. The 1050 TI is the cheapest GPU I could find with 3 total Display Ports and HDMI ports.

If the program really needs so much cpu power and you have no budget you should go for a r9 5900x or 5950x.

I made the assumption that single thread performance is more important than multi-core. Could be wrong. For example, I've heard that high frequency traders prefer the best single-core performance. If OP clarifies the software in use, we might be able to make a better recommendation.

AMD 5000 cpu have higher ipc than Intel 10th gen. This coupled with high boost clocks make the 5950X best choice.

 

The Lian-Li PC-TU150 case may be difficult to find.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
