After a new build wanna keep it as small as i can but i think itx is too small so im going to go matx.

I need a case with an optical drive, preferably hidden or slim line.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £471.27 (includes shipping: £12.30)

Thats what ive come up with so far. I have an EVGA 650P2 powersupply can i use that still?

And im using an rx580 for now.

Im after a case like the one above but really dont want the sound dampening, id rather it run less hot. (but small as possible)

Budget is around the above, honestly budget tends to depends on whats best value for longeivity, i dont tend to overclock it will just sit there till it needs updating.

Thanks

Hi

I would suggest the MSI B450M Mortar MAX motherboard instead. Works out of the box with the 3600.

Here is a cheaper set of Ram as well.

As mentioned above, your psu is fine to reuse. Not really a lot of options for mATX with a 5.25 bay. The Fractal above is a pretty decent case for the money though.

Yeh my first thought was to go ITX. matx is a little more flexible with m.2 etc , and i was a little concerned with the heat in an itx case unless u invest in decent cooling.

If i wanted to build something on itx, what should i be looking at?
