You get the ATX case because later on if you ever upgrade, you have the option of ATX or Micro ATX, if you get a micro ATX case you're stuck with it. have to replace the case if you go ATX later.

and the masterbox 5 isn't too big anyways.

Okay, not arguing on that anymore. "Bye bye", "Sayonara", "Fir Milenge Chalte Chalte"

Well the world is moving towards smaller, my friend. And you don't need an ATX unless you are going Quad SLI. 

Says who? Your opinion is not a fact nor a guideline for others.

 

I don't even have dual SLI and I have a full ATX tower. Sure, people get boards with multiple PCIe x16 slots (like my Z97 G5 or my Z370 Pro4) but that's because there are other PCIe x16 devices besides GPUs. If you're an audiophile Creative Labs makes ridiculously good PCIe sound cards with bitrates so high they max out the x16 slot. My network card cost over $200 and is a PCIe x4 card and the way I have my GPU set up I need an ATX motherboard to even fit in the card.

 

Some ATX boards don't even HAVE quad SLI support (except my Z77 OC Formula, but only has 3 slots)

 

You are so wrong I can't even explain to you the amount of scenarios that you are wrong in.

I am curious about the build of your Z370 Pro 4, what all have you got there and how much did it cost you? Seems like you are also operating a Storage Area Network or some kind of a network over there.

Oh and also about that sound card, I need some help suggesting something for a friend who runs a studio.

1. Budget & Location

So I am located in the UK and I would like to build a powerful rig. I have a budget of £1000 but do not want to spend it all so I have some left over. HOWEVER this does not mean I will settle for Ryzen 3's or i3's

 

2. Aim

The aim of this machine is to hold a stable 60 FPS (or more) in triple-A games whilst still having a sleek look and the horsepower in the back.I do have a preference for a case as it will be windowed and something like the NZXT H440 or S340 Elite

 

3. Monitors

I will need a monitor to be included in the list with sizes from at least 22" onwards (If a 144Hz could be squeezed in it would be great)

 

4. Peripherals

No peripherals will be required except from a decent WIFI card

 

lemme give u a little tip. go w a rx 570 or 580 and a monitor who supports AMD FREESYNC. great freakin combo.

It's not running anything. It's just a motherboard that I have that I mentioned because it is ATX.

 

I have a couple of dual gigabit network cards because they're good, not necessarily because I need them. Even my 8 year old laptop has gigabit ethernet. My workstation has three total GBe ports,and all three of them are connected and configured.

 

Sound card? Here's some of my favorites
