Need Help

[CornyQuotient14]

I need help building a ryzen system for a friend. His budget is around $700 and he will mainly be playing games at 1080p. Just looking for hardware prices and parts. Thank you.

You may want a board with VRM heatsinks for overclocking.

@DocSwag is the one who pointed that out, and it makes sense.

It makes sense, but I still don't know if it's necessary. for mild OCs

someone, not me, but someone, needs to investigate.

Probs not necessary for a mild OC, but defo for any time you're pushing the limits.

How much more would it cost to make it an ATX build. Otherwise, what is the difference between miniATX and normal when building?

Nothing, simply smaller mobo and smaller case if you get an matx board and case

not very much, but it's over budget.

ATX boards are bigger, therefore more expensive.

cheapest ATX board is the MSI B350 PC Mate, which is $85. so it's like a $10 increase.
