6900hx desktop equivalent

[Benass]

Hello. I'm considering mini pc for gaming.
And looking at this CPU. 6900hx.

Any one knows desktop alternative?
Power draw is a big factor here. I'm planning low profile air cooler.
My mini pc will be attached to the back of 24" monitor.
But that's another story.

Thanks. I'm planing to have dedicated gpu. so Igpu is not that important.

Im looking at 5600g as a possibility, its older CPU, but 100£ sounds nice. 5700g also sounds good.

also im trying to stay in ddr4 memory system. ddr 5 is pricy.

I can't go over £700 pounds, if i do then might as well buy

Neptune HX99G​

Thanks.
8500g CPU is nice choice.
I have to half the price on mobo, no need for tower, that leaves me enough money for £300 GPU.
I think I can make it work.
Time to do some research on motherboards.

It is doable, but if you go A620, make sure it has flashback, because I'd imagine it is very unlikely the stock BIOS will recognise the CPU.

thx. ill note that.

What I'm trying to achieve is a pc that is similar to the performance of HX99G and can mounted on a 300x500 plate behind the monitor. Also modular, if one component fails I can replace it or upgrade it. If anything fails on HX99G that's game over.

Unfortunately, a dedicated GPU is the only way to make it somewhat reasonable in gaming on 1080p 60 fps medium to high settings.

I can consider a Horizontal case under the monitor.

Appreciate any and all inputs. thanks.

if for gaming and heat is a problem i would look at the 13500, i have one with a low-profile cooler, with a power draw capped at 100w (pulled about 60w in games at 1440p).
run very cool with a Thermalright AXP90 (£17 cooler)

thats why im looking at amd. they are 65W big deal to keep heat down.

Are you prepared to pay more (a lot more) than hx99g to achieve that?
If horizontal is an option, then you can consider Fractal Node 202/Silverstone ML07, grab an itx board and graphics you like and you are done.
Anything smaller than that will be significantly compromised.

Another option would be Asrock Deskmeet or NUC Extreme(NUC extreme is pretty modular - you csn replace mobo and buy your own grqphics as well) - but thats more than twice as expensive as hx99g.

The challenge im trying to do is, keep price around £700 and see what i can build in smallest form factor.
If i cant make anything reasonable for such price ill go and grab hx99

Also this is for my 7 year old son. We like to play stuff together. so nothing crazy. just basic games for the next 3 years, until he grows bigger.
