$1500 SFF PC Build

[misunet]

Budget (including currency): $1500 USD

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Minecraft, Stardew Valley, American Truck Simulator, Photoshop, Blender, Clip Studio Paint

Other details: I'm planning on going abroad for a year for school and the PC I have right now is not portable, so anything between 10 - 12L would be great. I really like the look of the fractal terra but I don't mind if y'all recommend another case. I just want something I could play Minecraft w/ shaders with without the frames dropping horribly. Also no crazy amounts of RGB plz.

Don't turn on the RGB and you're good to go.

Edit: you can go with 4070 too I guess, if you need more vram then 6800xt is the way. While, the ssd has dram and at 7000mb/s/6800mb/s, it's actually dirt chip.

CPU cooling is difficult in the Terra. You may need to adjust power limits to optimize CPU performance.
