Other details: here is my part list I have come up with and I was wondering if anyone had any feed back on how to improve it. I am planning on flipping my pc which is why I have a more expensive case.

Changed things around to make a better computer.

 

Better cpu

WAY better cooler, the old one is worse than the stock cooler

Faster ram

Better card

Good case (old one can be done but you need to add your own fans)

Higher capacity psu

[Cr33ps]

Upgraded it a bit

Costs a bit more but has better gpu performance

That psu is a firehazard. It is known to kill systems super easily DO NOT USE.

Inno3D GeForce RTX 3070 Ti 8 GB iChill X4 Video Card

I have had no one talk about Inno3D, I want to know if it is a reliable manufacturer

Pretty darn big in europe here. They are fine the ichill is one of the best coolers for the 3070ti out there even.

I would swap out that board for the B660M-A as it has heatsinks for the same price.

Good catch. I actually added the wrong one now that I look at it.

Looks like a great PC list but I might make a couple edits. First of all the case must be flipable and from what I can see the phanteks doesn't seem to be flipable. I like the ram but I was looking for RGB so I found the crucial ballistix which is RGB 16gb ddr4-3600 and cl16 for a similar price what do you think? I do agree the 3070 ti is a better card but whether it will fit in the budget with the lian Li case, I don't know. I also changed out the motherboard for the b660m-a but as a micro ATX wouldn't it look a bit small in the case I chose? With all the edits the end result would look like this. it is a bit over budget though which is the only problem. But that could be solved by changing the graphics card. In which case what card would you recommend or what other changes would you make?

Why does the case need to invert? Or is it because it will be on the other side of the desk? You could just buy a left facing case which would probably still allow a better card

Yes the case will be on the other side of my desk and If I had a normal one I would run the risk of hitting it off accidentally.

What. That doesn't make sense. The size of the case doesn't change when you flip it upside down. So you will run equal risk knocking the case off.

No but my case will be up against a wall when inverted otherwise it would be on the edge of the desk.

You can just put the case against the wall anyway unless this is because you want to view the inside then you do need a different side case

Yes I would like to view the inside of my case because I love the asthetic of it. I also have multiple RGB components inside which also adds to the looks.
