Moving to ITX

[AAB]

Hi all,

 

So currently I own the following config:

CPU: Ryzen 5 3500

Case: Cooler Master NR600 with ODD

Motherboard: ASRock B450 Pro4

PSU: Cooler Master Master Watt 550 80+Broze PSU

 

Graphics Card: Galax RTX 2060

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM (8GBx2) 3200Mhz

SSD: Crucial 500GB M.2

HDD: 2TB Toshiba HDD

 

 

I plan to move to ITX cause want to reduce space, its easier to move around when I am shifting houses...

 

The usage is mostly basic coding python3, C++, learning Javascript(then react js)

Learn basics of photo editing, video editing

Gaming -> Some games I play Battlefield, Age of Mythology, Witcher 3, Darksiders, God of War, Yakuza etc...

 

Budget: INR Rs.50000 or USD 600-700 lesser the better.

 

Now my current PC is fine except for a few bad frame drops in battlefield it does the job, for my coding needs it more than enough, but when I was using handbrake to stitch 2 videos and get them in a format it was taking 1+ hours

I am not going do some Pro stuff just follow tutorials from SkillShare or Udemy but for basic learning which CPU would be a good bet?

The configuration I have in mind is:

Case: Cooler Master NR200 (non tempered glass)

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X (the 5700G  are low on cache so I am not sure how well they will perform any other suggestions)

Motherboard: Gigabyte B550I AORUS Pro AX

PSU: Cooler Master SFX V550 80+ Gold (Is this bad choice or  should I stick to 650 watt units from other brands?)

RAM, SSD, HDD, Graphics card from old build.

 

My concern is the PSU(gigabyte incident) a bit concerned if the Cooler Master SFX is a good choice cant find many reviews for them....

Is 550 watts good enough?

I will never be buying a 3080 or 4080 will stick with this card for the next 2 years as I have plenty of old games to play

 

for the processor I am not sure If I have any choice given my budget intel motherboards are very expensive..

I was thinking about getting an after market cooler Noctua NH-C14s as its easily available (the Scythe cooler are just not available here) based on a few google searches fits the NR200 fine

I wont be overclocking much or if performance is adequate not at all given this condition is the NH-C14s a good choice?

I am aware that my upgrade path is not present as AMD may come with a new Socket but at the current budget I don't have many choices anyway....

 

What do you guys think of the build?

You'd still have a decent upgrade path depending on what you want to do; there's still 16 core CPUs available on AM4.

You'd be more than fine with that. I'll be running a 600w PSU in my 5900/2070 Super rig.

As for quality, you might want to check on that. I don't know if it's a good PSU or not.
