Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my current system. I have a 5600x with a 3070ti. I've been wanting to upgrade to the intel 13th gen for a while and I thought since 14th gen is coming soon, the 13th gen should get discounted a little and it may be a good time to start planning a build.

So far, I've decided on going with a 13700k as I do mainly game, but I run some video editing, code compiling and simulations. I would also like at least 32gb of ram as I do cad aswell.

I was thinking of a Lian Li O11D mini as I don't like cases being massive. My current build is a NR200P but it's a tad bit small, so I thought the O11D Mini would be perfect. I would also like it to support a EK pump-res combo.

I'm having the most trouble with the motherboard as it seems the only one that is decent is the Z790M Aorus Elite. I would like an Matx motherboard as it's not too big & I don't need much expansion.

Here's what I'm looking for
A good case that is similarly sized or slightly smaller than the O11D Mini
a z790 or b760(with B series I do lose oc)
Some ram recommendations. Either 2x16 or 4x8

I already have
MSI 3070 ti gamingx trio
Corsair LPX ddr4
Corsair SF750 sfx psu
2x m.2 ssds

please give me some recommendations on a case, motherboard and ram. Thank you!

can i ask? why are you replacing a pretty good pc early already?

#

oh. i see now

#

you are going to reuse some of the parts

#

just changing the case, cpu and motherboard

#

and ram

#

fair enough

#

how much ram do you think you will need

#

if you are doing all of cad, coding and few more

#

then you may need 64gb of ram

Just get an aio

#

Also the O11D mini is crap

#

stick with the regular o11d

I’d the O11 Air Mini

It also gives an opportunity to give my friend some of the parts. He's been wanting to build a pc but could never actually do it so if I have to get all new ram aswell, he'd just need to pick up a gpu for a pretty good pc

fair enough

Oh okay

#

Still O11 Air

However when I might need to upgrade the power supply (say, upgrading gpu) then the atx power supply will come in handy as it should be much cheaper

Okay
