Yellow, big brain PC users 🖖

I'm traveling and moving a lot for quite a while now, and getting a rig was never part of my plan

But recently I realized I can get a mini-itx and bring it anywhere I want

Looking for your advices and build configurations

I want it to be like top, but without it just be overpriced. I don't care for LEDs, as small and as powerful as possible, high-mini-atx-end 😄

Thank yowoou

I can personally vouch for the Cooler Master NR200. Its super nice to build in and very versatile with PSU and GPU configuration.

The version I built for a friend had a 5600x with a Noctua NH-U9S and a 6700xt and absolutely zero issues with cooling.

Other than that, same thing others are saying, start with the case and power supply and then work backwards.

I'll second that. I have a 5800x and 3070 Ti in mine, runs great. CPU is cooled with an Arctic LF 2 280 AIO, which I wouldn't recommend to a stranger as it's pretty tight and probably not great for the tubes, but the point being that you can fit some fairly beefy gear. Don't think I would would gain much performance with a larger case as with all the ventilation everything is drawing fresh air.

Thirded. Excellent for beginners and people new to ITX, and there's a big community around that case alone.

ETA: Machines and More on YouTube has many, many videos that cover the NR200 and build options.
