Christmas is a LONG ways away.. Come back when you are close to buying parts.
By the time Christmas comes we will have had many new parts release pushing prices of older components down even more.

Hardware prices change month by month, no point in looking at anything right now.

 

I would say that you should get a 5700X3D, a Thermalright peerless assassin cooler to keep noise levels down as this was a complaint.

Spend the rest on a new GPU.

 

Edit: Damn, Canadian Rubles aint a joke! a 5700X3D is 330 bucks.

 

Buy a new CPU cooler and a GPU 🙂 Thats it

What speed 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

case?

considering theres a p12 on the back of the case i assume its not the case fans so probably just cpu cooler fan but considering a p12 (max) is like 10$ might aswell buy a phantom spirit and upgrade the cooler outright

 

cpu wise save up some money since we arent even halfway through the year, just buy a phantom spirit and overclock the cpu for now and you can upgrade the cpu later, and if you havent already also overclock the gpu since thats just moving some sliders around in msi afterburner whilst furmark is running in the background to check for artifacts/instability
