Just put this together and I think it’s a decent value, apart from maybe the power supply, mobo, and case. One of the requirements is that is is a sff build, and this was just the first case I thought of. Any ideas from the people? (Also the cooler might not actually fit — haven’t checked that yet lol)
Price is sub 1400

How about this ram instead, cheaper and faster https://pcpartpicker.com/product/j6sV3C/corsair-vengeance-rgb-32-gb-2-x-16-gb-ddr5-6400-cl36-memory-cmh32gx5m2b6400c36
And it’s still rgb
little token
Yeah sure
Can’t see why not
Well
It’s actually the same price
But it is faster ig
I’m mostly looking for price cuts, and if possible I’m questioning whether or not it’s all compatible (space wise)

Hm
How much is it meant to cost

$350 is a pretty sweet spot for so much performance

Msrp is $450

are you just gaming?

bump lmao
just get the 7800xt atp cuz it's a $500 6900xt, 7700xt is like an overpriced underspecced rx 6800
little token
I’ll consider it, but then I’ll have to spend less on other stuff
I’ve got a reasonably tight budget
little token
The 500 is a large increase over the 350, are there any ways I can save some money?
vagrant sky
Well what are you using the build for?
little token
Gaming and rendering (milder though) + video editing
Preferably it would still be sff as I would like to be able to bring it places

I believe this cooler should fit fine

You might not be able to fit a fan above the PSU if you go with SFX-L
That's the only potential compatibility problem that strikes me
ornate juniper
Is there a better combo I could go with?
You can get a regular SFX PSU if you want two top fans. Or a slim fan in the front top might fit if you prefer that. I don't really know which options are best right now as far as SFX PSUs go but I use an SF750
little token
Yeah the only problem is that sfx psus seem to run more expensive than sfx-l versions
Although the performance increase of adding 2 fans is probably rather significant
ornate juniper
For whatever it's worth, you probably don't need 850 W for this system
ornate juniper
And you can still have 1 fan up top, the SFX-L would only block the front one on top
I can send some photos in a sec

Think this would work better?
It’s cheaper and smaller
Also by EVGA so hopefully warranty is better (or something)
ornate juniper
I don't really know anything about these, maybe see the LTT forum PSU tier list

Man sff builds suck
ornate juniper
Apologies for the crude photos. In the first photo you can see with my SFX PSU, the power cable is near the fan. If you wanted to use SFX-L, you'd have to shift up the PSU as can be seen in the second photo. A slim fan might work with SFX-L, but a 25mm thick fan won't fit
Some people will buy a low profile power cable, but a lot of those leave AC power contacts exposed which is dangerous
little token
Interesting
I think I’ll just go for a smaller psu
It’ll save space and probably make it easier/ more performant
(This is also my first time building a computer, so I’ll have plenty of challenges as it is)
ornate juniper
Yeah. You might also want to consider using grilles on your top fans. It's not really super necessary but it can help prevent cables from pushing in there
ornate juniper
They are nice to have up top but pretty necessary for my radiator because it is a tight fit

Unfortunate

Do you have any advice abt motherboards? This one seems kinda expensive, but that’s also coming from atx mobos

ITX motherboards are pretty expensive unfortunately. Maybe ASRock or somebody else has some cheaper ones but usually the less expensive ones lack certain features

What’s the difference between the nr200 and the nr200p?
Besides the price lol
