Mini ITX build for 1080p gaming

[TheShout]

Hey Folks,

I'm building a new mini-ITX PC for myself, but I'm stuck at the some points. Specs are:

 

Case:

Raijintek Metis Classic

MOBO:
Gigabyte GA-AB350N-GAMING WIFI

CPU:
AMD Ryzen 5 1600X

GPU:
Zotac GTX1060 6GB GDDR5 Mini ZT

RAM:

G.Skill Fortis 2x8GB DDR4 2400MHz

SSD:

Samsung 500GB 860 EVO

Cooling:

ID-Cooling AURAFLOW 120 SNOW

PSU:

Cooler Master 550W MasterWatt

 

Monitor:

AOC G2260VWQ6 21,5"

 

My questions are:

• Will this all fit into the case?

• General opinion about the build

• Is the Auraflow overkill for the CPU? I was wondering that the airflow would be pretty shi*t, so it would be helpful.

• Is the monitor decent in terms of image/speaker. I have very limited space, so I would avoid buying any external speaker if possible.

Appreciate if you help!

Unless you NEED an ITX system, I would recommend going against it. ITX motherboards don't give you too many upgrade options and most ITX cases don't have great airflow and expandability options.

To be honest, I quite much need an ITX build... I have very limited space on the kitchen desk to put the PC on, and no other place to put it. On upgrades, I usually upgrade my system every 5-6 years only, and then I buy a whole new setup. For now the point is to be able to game in 1080p at decent settings/FPS for a few years. Airflow could be an issue, but that's a risk I'm willing to take, that's why the water cooler in the build.

I'm currently running both the AB350N and a 1600x w/ a 1060 as well.

 

Compatibility:

• The GPU (Zotac 1060 mini) is 4 mm too long for the case's advertised length (174mm compared to 170) You may be able to squeeze it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Here are some of my thoughts and tips:

• The Metis Classic has a volume of 13.4 liters but is restricted to a GPU length of 170mm; however, the SG13B has a max GPU length of 266mm ( ~210 with a radiator) - plenty for your card.
• I'd recommend going with one 16GB stick of RAM instead of 2x8GB - allowing for further upgrading in the future. mITX motherboards only have two RAM slots
• A 120mm radiator with a 1600x is fine  - in SFF, you can't use a tower cooler (which would be a better value), so a 120mm replacement makes sense.
• I'd recommend going with a smaller SSD (256GB?) and adding a 1 TB hard drive in addition to it, but this is just a personal preference.
• I highly recommend using PCPartsPicker. It'll let you check for compatibilities, prices (for your region), and provides various other information. Here's your current setup ported into their PC Builder (Link Here).

every mini itx build can fit, a hammer and dremel makes everything fit ( no its not a troll answer )
