jovial osprey
Always wanted to downsize just so I can bring my PC home for the holidays but without paying Mini ITX tax, it all started when Amazon had a used B450M K Prime II for £42. I built this PC last year with the help of the SFF PC community, I just forgot to make a post that's why there's so much dust.
CPU: Ryzen 5 5600 (5700X3D is on the way)
CPU Cooler: Thermalright SI-100
GPU: PowerColor Red Dragon RX 6800 XT
RAM: Lexar 32GB 3200Mhz DDR4
Motherboard: ASUS B450m PRIME K II
Storage: Lexar SSD NM620 2TB, 1TB Toshiba 7200RPM 3.5" HDD
PSU: Corsair SF750
Exploring small cases that fit mATX boards was not easy, there were a lot that I could've shipped over from china, but I would be spending over £100 on cases most of the time, and the ones cheaper than that are all made very cheaply. So I looked more local and found a otherwise new NR200 on ebay for £60. Note that usually mATX motherboards don't fit in the NR200, but what made the B450M K Prime II so special was that I got a great deal, but also it is one of the few shorter height motherboards that just about squeeze in the case. So that was cool.
Some late additions to the build as the Thermalright cooler, initially I used the stock cooler but I was idling at over 60C, and now that I have this cooler it should be able to sufficiently cool the 5700X3D when it comes through the mail. The hard drive was a spare I found lying around our house (probably from an old sky receiver), and thankfully I just about made it fit in the case.
Most of the parts in the build came from great deals I found online, the SF750 was on ebay for £70 without PSU cables, which I ended up getting for £20 more iirc. Very cheap but probably not worth it I should have gone new, it has a very noticable coil whine. The RX 6800XT was also used for £350 I think, but I think this is an ex-mining card so hopefully doesn't die on me anytime soon.
If there's anything else you guys want to know, ask away! (also please praise my cable management)
