Wrong link. We have no idea what motherboard it is.

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.

How many watts do I need?

Nobody can see what you ordered, only you while you're logged in.

You may be low on memory, 8 GB is kinda small - your frames may drop when the OS has to swap things to SSD.

 

Whatever board you have, it should be able to work fine with 6core or 8core ryzens but some entry level boards may have a hard time staying cool while powering these more powerful processors. For anything higher than a six core cpu, your board should definitely have a heatsink over the vrm.

You can help cool the VRM area (the area between the i/o bracket and the cpu socket, there's the dc-dc converter which converts 12v from your power supply into the 1.2v ..1.4v your cpu needs) by strategically placing a 80mm..120mm fan over it, blowing air there, down into the board and heatsink. It would look ugly but the system would run just fine.

 

edit: ok, checked your message as you just changed the link. 

 

The board's fine... vrm is 4 phase, it's not great but more than suitable, there's a heatsink on it, if you won't overlock the cpu the board can run a 6core or 8 core cpu just fine. don't stress about it. Even some overclocking would be possible, it's just not a board aimed at overclocking crowd.
