I think you can spend a little less on the cpu (like the 2400g) and a little more on the graphics card (like a 1060, maybe even a used one) and you'll manage better game performance overall.

If your tasks include more multithreaded tasks like rendering video in premier, then this is fine.

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.

How many watts do I need?

Try and get an rx 580 8gb (it shouldn't cost too much more), so you get better performance and you could also pick up a monitor with freesync if you need it (freesync is nice....and FREE unlike G-sync).

 

You also forget about the HDD, just look for a 7200rmp one.

Do you already have a HDD? You may want to spend less on the case and more on the GPU, as that will actually improve the performance. 

My suggestion.

Do not use a 350 socket  with a 2600, unless you have a 1600 cpu to update the BIOS.

 

I would use a 470 socket. At that point no bios update. A lot less problem, if you do not have a 1600 cpu.

 

A 470 will open the way for future changes that are coming. The price difference do not warrant the problem, updating the BIOS, and the lost of some features, of the 2600

 

Updating the 350 Bios is a pain.Go to a store, ask for help in updating, they will charge you. Or get a kit from AMD, to update, this will take some time to do. So both will give you lost of time and money.

 

Not fun finding that your system won't boot because of wrong BIOS

 

My 2 cents

First of all thanks for your opinions.

 

I already have a hdd (forgot to mention).

 

I know the problem with the b350 boards so i'm currently waiting for the b450 boards. Or should i buy a 470 board?

 

Also i think i will go for a gtx1060 or are there better amd cards for that price?

Good .

 

I have found this Not sure if correct, I have tried to find that in AMD web site and could not

 MSI as several model of the 450 with different specs.

 

MSI 450 have 4 Sata connections .

 

MSI 470 modelsm have 6 Sata connections. 

 

I am sure there are other differences .

 

I would go with the X470, speaking for myself.
