Good ITX Case & Power Supply

[ZenMonkey]

Looking to put together an budget-friendly ITX build that'll last me for 3+ years.

 

Planned gear:  Ryzen 5 1600, NZXT Kraken X41 AIO, Noctua system fans for whatever spots are left, two SSDs, one mechanical drive, and a Geforce GTX 1070 (maybe a 1080, but that'll likely have to wait)

 

Right now my top cases are the Cooler Master Elite 130, Fractal Nano S, and the Silverstone SG13. Any recommendations between the two, or another choice I'm overlooking? Also, recommendations on power supplies?

Right now my top two cases are the Cooler Master Elite 130 and the Silverstone SG13. Any recommendations between the two, or a third choice I'm overlooking? Also, recommendations on power supplies?

For a power supply I would get this: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/y88H99/evga-supernova-g3-650w-80-gold-certified-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-220-g3-0650 . Basically something 80+gold  and modular that is high on the psu tier list on this forum.

This is a nice case. Case mostly preference though. Just pick something that looks nice and isn't really cheap.

I saw that box and liked it, but with room for five 140mm fans plus one 200mm fan, and being able to supposedly fit a triple radiator, it sounds on the large side for an ITX case. I'm trying to stay compact, but I guess it is smaller than the Fractal Nano S by volume. Have you worked with it?

I have not worked with it no. Its a good case and I liked the look of it so I wanted to show you something a little different. If you want to stay more compact the ones you picked are good choices as well.

Thanks for pointing it out. I'd forgotten about it, but it does look nice. I'll put it back on my list to research further. Seems like I have plenty of time while I wait for more AM4 chipset ITX mobos to hit the market.

The aforementioned EVGA G3 is a good choice. It is very small and should work well for your tiny case.
