sff SFF PC part selection help

Budget (including currency): 1200

Country: Spain

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: 1080p and 1440p gaming and future 4K

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): 

Hi, I need help deciding parts for my itx build. I am using currently ryzen 1600 build, and I can reuse the ram and the gpu.
Going intel requires ddr5 (which is really expensive and I already have a decent kit). Wait for 7000 series maybe too long when a good value itx am5 board comes out.

I will keep my 2060super until 40 series comes out. It works well in 1080p.

I know the cooler is overpriced but I am really into the looks of it, I think it is worth the price for me.
 

Here is the parts list:

tbh i really disagree with your cooler choice, you could get more ram AND a bigger ssd if you switched to a different one but whatever floats your boat

[4ce_Games]

Going intel dosen't require ddr5, you can use ddr4, but if you wish to upgrade in the future, you will need to change mobos as well.

 

And honestly go for a smaller samsung drive and use it as a bootdrive, and use the extra money to get a secondary, like a 2tb seagate drive, and put your files and games on there

Not necessarily. Plenty of DDR4 mobos. I added some new ram in my recommendations cause it's faster but you said your current ram is fine so keeping it would be no issue (guessing the white Corsair ram is what you have?)

 

Here's an AMD option

Cheaper SSD cause €160 for 1TB is criminal. This case also accommodates ATX PSUs which are cheaper, so that's nice.

Yeah, I know it is pretty expensive. It is just for the looks...

But currently ddr4 itx mobos are extremely expensive and the cheaper ones (Asrock ones really sucks).

 

The boot drive suggestion I really think would be great.

The problem with intel is that Asrock boards are bad viewing the reviews. And there is no choice of other ones in Spain currently.

Do you have a local shop that might offer more alternatives? Or can possibly order an in-store selection for you?

 

ASRock customer support is bad sure, but a lot of their products are pretty good. Though it seems specific information about this motherboard is hard to come by, I'll have to dig around for its VRM setup info.

That's a good idea. I can ask one.

If it’s the RGB you want, the Arctic Liquid Freezer II A-RGB is a much, much better cooler for a significantly cheaper price. The Lian Li Galahad 360 is also much better.

You could build a system like this that will perform well and remain a looked, something similar to this:
