Looking to build a new mini-ITX pc

hedghehog

Hi,

 

I'm looking to buy a new system.

 

I have a current system but it's really bad and the only thing i could re-use is the graphics card (I want to get an SSD)

I have a gtx1050ti that I already own that I want to use and I would like to build this in a mini rtx case, something like this: https://www.pccasegear.com/products/26895/cooler-master-elite-130-mini-itx-case

 

 

What is a good motherboard that will last in the future If I wish to upgrade my CPU

What is a good cpu that will work well with the 1050ti

What is a suitable amount of ram, DDR4 i guess

 

I don't realy want to spend more than like 800-1000$

 

Thanks

I don’t really know what you mean by a motherboard that ‘lasts in the future’. Usually CPU companies like AMD and Intel will stop support of older motherboard chipsets after a few generations. AMD’s current AM4 motherboards will work for their latest cpus until 2020. Not sure about Intel. Maybe you can go for AM4 motherboard like B450 or X470, you can upgrade to the promising zen2 cpus.

 

Considering your budget, a Ryzen 5 2600 would work quite well, and its only 65W TDP so if you don’t OC the temps will be decent in a small case

 

At this budget, 2 x4GB DDR4 3000Mhz is perfect.
