3rd times the charm

[PotatoWithaLaser]

This is the third iteration of this build, brought it through a define r5 (with an atx mobo), which was way too big and bulky for me, a core v1, which was way too hot, and now this, a beautiful balance between size/weight and cooling. 

Ryzen 5 1600

Gigabyte 1060 6gb mini

16gb DDR4-3000

AB350N-Gaming Wireless

Enthoo Evolv ITX chassis

1TB sandisk ssd pro

2TB seagate barracuda

Straight power 10 550w

Corsair commander pro fan controller

1x 200mm intake fan

1x 120mm aio (old h60 and NF-F12)

1x 140mm exhaust fan

In the future I plan on shoving a colossal 1070 Ti into it, and depending on the 1070 Ti, it will actually fit the case and run on the 550w psu. Build took me about 8 hours from deconstructing the old one and putting it all in the Enthoo Evolv. Very happy with this case so far, just very time consuming to build in. Worried that my gpu won't get enough air, being a mini and sitting right on top of the psu. Yes the psu is bottom intake, but it still worried me a little. 

Overall, tons of fun, and definately worth the upgrade.

Hey thanks. I enjoy it, but you do have pitfalls. The vrms on the mobo are not very good, and overheat extremely quickly, so you can't overclock that hard. Not a fan of the mini 1060 6gb, but a year and a half ago, it was the only 1060 6gb for $300. When the next iteration of AMD processors come out, I might upgrade my cpu, and again, definately looking at a 1070 Ti. A lot of card makers make 2 slot 1070 Ti's now, which is fantastic for me, because this case has up to 330mm of gpu clearance, if I remember correctly. Anywho, still fun to build. It's a drug for me.
