Power supply- a proprietary supply that came with the case -.-

 

Systems aim is for high-end gaming, i have an HTC vive i bring over to friends houses and this small form factor is the reason I'm building this.

 

Monitor- usually a 43-inch flat screen in my room which is at 1920x1080 which is eh but on the go at LAN parties its usually any screen i can find and then the HTC vive headset.

 

4. Peripherals- all of these are dealt with, Top of the line Corsair keyboard and mouse for better or for worse. 

 

5. Why are you upgrading? I'm upgrading because my arms hurt from lugging my micro atx build to my friends house for lan parties. This is my previous build and i made the mistake of falling in love with the case and found out how heavy it was when it was too late.https://pcpartpicker.com/b/FQm8TW

 

My location is The USA if specifically needed ohio, and my budget is around 1000 dollars which is not really important since im really patient and wait for everything to go on sale one at a time and second I have purchased a lot of things already. What i'm posting specifically about its all about this case i love/hate. It looks great but the power supply is a problem ill deal with by measuring cables and getting a small form factor power supply to replace it. What really is getting in my way and I don't have a lot of knowledge in is RGB headers. This case has a 12v rgb addressable strip in its base and I have no idea about which AM4 motherboards actually have 12v rgb headers on it. I kinda have just gone with the " the most expensive motherboard in this form factor must have it right?" I've been going through Amazon and Newegg specs pages but I can't find anything saying 12v rgb at all. I've heard you can damage rgb items if you use the wrong voltage type items so I'm kinda frozen up on this, help! Second recommendation on gpu because this RTX stuff got me all confused on should I go for that or go for cheaper now 10 series or maybe a amd 64 card. Any advice would be amazing!

If you're having trouble deciding what to do in the case and what PSU to replace it with, why not instead go even smaller with the Silverstone Sugo sg13? It's an excellent itx case.

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