A used graphics card can save you some major coin, and springing for an x series board will allow your PC to take advantage of XFR if you don't overclock your CPU. It'll just boost the frequency a little more when you have good thermals.

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?

Do you already own the 1440p display?

 

an RX 570/580 would be fine for fortnite at 1440p outside of the absolute max settings.

 

Because you should be getting a Ryzen 7 8 core for streaming.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Go for option 2. You don't really need the 2600X as much, I think. I would go with the RX 580 tho. It would look something like:

Also, I am not sure if you already have a hard drive? If you don't, you should also get a 1TB HDD along with the 240GB SSD.

"Make it future proof for some years at least, don't buy "only slightly better" stuff that gets outdated 1 year, that's throwing money away" @pipoawas

 

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

My head on 2019 :

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol
