New travel pc build.

[goatsmartfella]

Budget (including currency): $500-$750 US

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Light gaming, mainly for travel.

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): Looking to play at 1080p 60fps.

Currently have a single fan 3060 and was wondering what a parts list for a very small form factor build could look like. Open to any ideas and suggestions. Being as compact as possible would be cool.

Why? A 5600 + 3060 really doesn't use much power

You're right, your build doesn't need a lot of power, but an 850 psu is also reusable in other builds and it avoids the savings paradox.

Torrent nano is huge. You can fit 2-4 actual itx-sized cases inside it.

I already have a great home rig and only needed it for the travel rig with absolutely no intention of upgrading.
