Want to build a new pc because mine is getting too old and my graphics card recently died (my use case is gaming and some light video editing/ photo editing, but mostly gaming). I don't want to spend more then £1000 however. this is what ive come up with as a build so far, thoughts, and better  parts suggestions and is it all compatible.

 

(i don't care about vr, 4k, overclocking or anything fancy. Im very content staying at 1080p 60hz. i also wanted a small form factor to make it easier to move about as im a student and want to bring it home during holidays, but also have decent thermals) 


Corsair CP-9020102-UK CX550M 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX

MSI B350M MORTAR Socket AM4 AMD Ryzen 7th Gen Athlon DDR4 USB 3.1 Micro ATX

GIGABYTE NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 OC 8GB ITX PCI-E

AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-Core 19 MB Cache 65 W CPU with Wraith Stealth Cooler

You'll want 3000mhz memory, theres a good performance boost from anything lower to 3000.

 

Regarding the case, its not gonna be very easy to transport. I'd maybe look at a node 202 or something of the like

Have a look at the Silverstone Sugo SG13B. It's really stylish and also very compact. I think you'll find it very agreeable.

Also, I'm sure I'll get a reputation for recommending this thing, I really love it. I should probably add it to my BIO.

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 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
