Thanks , if I wanted only 60 fps would a 580/1060 + 8400 suffice? Also would a lack of Hyperthreading be an issue?

lack of hyper threading is no problem, the i5 still has 6 cores to take care of multitasking. The 580/1060 is the sweet spot for 1080p 60fps, so your budget of $1200 is really really high for your target gaming experience.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
