So for some context this is a build being priced between £300 - £400 preferably the cheaper side. To be able to run some standard game software such as Unreal Engine, Unity etc. 
Got a Build set up here but wondering what could be swapped out

Some people prefer a challenge, I just band my head against a wall until my method works...

if you want to go a bit lower you can get this case (see link) and drop the psue, since it comes with a 300 w one

It is mini-itx though. so it will be a step down in size

The full potential would be useless and a waist if it ain't gonna be used though. Like I genuinely won't be gaming on it so doing so would be a waist as it won't get fully utilised 

Some people prefer a challenge, I just band my head against a wall until my method works...
