i want to buy this mini case built from origin. I've heard they have the safest shipping with the crate option. and the combo i decided to go with was a 5600x and a 3060ti. my question would be is this combo (as well as 32gigs of ram) pretty safe for the next 2 years at least? i play on a 1080p monitor. would this be enough to "future proof" upcoming games? I'd like to be able to play high settings even ultra 60fps min for a couple years

For $2,000? Yikes. You could build a PC with a 12400f and 3070 for $600+ less. More like $4-500 less if you go with a really nice case etc.

im not really into building, and i just realized i posted in the wrong spot so I'm sorry for that. and i need a small case since ill be moving states soon again. and origins pcs seem to have great build quality. and the shipping method is the safest I've seen.

If you’re comfortable overpaying then go ahead, but I would find someone to build it for me if I were you. The O11 Air Mini I mentioned is a really nice compact case and looks really good to boot. If you want an ITX build you could have someone build in an NR200P or something.

you wouldn't happen to have a pcpartpicker list for it would you? would it be pretty simple to build? i've never done it

PCs are like Legos in some ways. And their are an abundance of resources. You say building isn't your thing, but you have ever built a PC?

It’s not so hard to build, and the case is great for building in. Super spacious for its compact footprint. Here’s a PCPartPicker list that’s very similar to the one I used, but I removed the monitor etc. that you don’t need. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xbVpNc

 

 

Here’s a great YouTube guide by Linus on how to build a PC- wish I had this when I was building my first PC lol

no. but it looks pretty risky. i watched a few linus builds and he says its really easy to scratch something wrong and break it. i would not trust myself with fragile parts worth hundreds of dollars

I wouldn't say risky. You just have to take your time and be careful. It's a nice feeling of gratification building it yourself, plus several hundred in savings. And no over paying for the components they use! The PCPP build the Noctua fan posted would be an excellent system compared to the pre-built.
