Smaller form factor, midrange PC

[SamXevor]

Budget (including currency): 1100 euro

Country: Belgium

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: League of Legends, Valorant (currently, but open to AAA titles in future because not yet able to play on his current Macbook), basic rendering for interior design purposes

Other details Starting with a fresh build, targeting 120Hz @ 1440p for esports titles and 60Hz for the other titles. Buying the parts this week, already own an Nvidia RTX 3060 MSI Ventus 2x so the system needs to be in line with this gpu.

 

I am building this computer for a friend and have put together the following partslist, which he could ideally order from one store (alternate.be) or not too many bigger stores which are available in Belgium. He would like to be able to transport it somewhat easily, therefor I thought a mini-ITX based system would be a good fit.  EDIT: I looked for cases with him and he liked the look of the H210i and said he would be careful with the window, even though that obviously is not ideal for transport.

I would like to have wifi integrated into the motherboard, but am open to switching to an Intel based system as well. I was mainly wondering if the parts are balanced correctly and seem like a good fit for each other, or if I should take an alternate choice for some of the parts. At least 1TB of solid state storage is needed in the system.

 

Much thanks in advance,

Sam

H210 is too big for transport. I'd recommend the NR200 or better yet, the FormD T1. You'd need SFX PSU though.

Thanks for the reply,

 

I should have clarified a little bit better, he switches between parents every week, but that is only going to be up until June (because he's going to move out), so the transport part is not extremely decisive, but rather a nice to have for the time being. Those cases also don't seem to be available easily in Belgium. Is the system looking alright for everything else?

 

Thanks again,

Sam

Yeah looks pretty good to me. I'd personally get an SFX PSU anyway though, airflow in the H210 is better that way I believe. I'd recommend the SF600 Platinum.

That's a good idea, then I have one final question; the website mentions it (the SF600) does have shorter cables, is that an issue for the H210, or will that work out better because the cables would actually fit nicer?

Yeah that might be an issue. You could get some sleeved extensions to remedy that.
