How's this? room for GPU upgrade in the future, as well as more storage. Little bit over budget so a B360 board would work.

Hi Guys, I'm planning on building my first gaming pc, but I'm also struggling whit finding the parts. Also I really want a themed pc but I don't know what to theme it around (any theme is appreciated) . My budget is also something that blocks me, having around 1000 (Italian) € for this build, which also has to include peripherals to top it off. I'm mainly building this pc for gaming purposes and I hope you can help me with it.

You've got quite a hefty budget. Did you want to incorporate RGB or just have some well color coordinated parts?

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

Also, does this mean that local retailers don't have what you want, or that you don't know what the pick online?

I'm starting to see the problem. The i5 8600k I was thinking of for a build link was not available on amazon Italy. Is there a parts shortage of some kind? Any nearby countries you could get parts from? Germany is a PC gaming hub in Europe as far as I know.

Yes I can get parts from near countries, don't really worry about it, shipping shouldn't cost much.

It's really good, but it doesn't have peripherals. I will include some cheap stuff and then it's done. Do you have any recommendations?

Personally I started small with a used 1080p monitor I got secondhand and an office rubberdome keyboard, and there are budget gaming mice on Amazon for about $10
