Country: United States

Programs or workloads: Adobe Creative Suite (Premier (up tp 4k RAW), Lightroom, Photoshop)

Games: Doom Eternal, Resident Evil Village, Metro Exodus, and heavily modded Fallout 4 and Skyrim

 

Other details:

I've decided I need a small formfactor, jack of all trades computer that can handle heavy video editing if necessary (mostly 1080p RAW) and play modern games at high-ish settings. I already have an RTX 3070 and a few SSDs, but this is what I'm thinking for the rest of the system.

 

CPU: i5-13600k

MoBo: Gigabyte Z690I Aorus Ultra Lite DDR5

RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5600 2x16gb

PSU: Cooler Master V850 SFX

AIO: EK 240mm AIO

Case: LIAN LI A4-H20

 

Does this seem like a reasonable, good at most things build?

This is the build I wish I had. Yes, I believe this will be able to do almost anything you throw at it, very quickly.

Ooo def look forward to replies on this config. Sound legit and dream list to have.

 

Any reason for small form factor?

I just came to the conclusion that I put almost nothing inside my computer anymore. Plus, i've been in situations where i had to stuff a PC into a suitcase and hop on a plane. Would be nice to be able to do that easily
