Hello,
Another build idea I have using an mATX case. I have no budget per se, just looking at the best possible components to squeeze into a small case. This PC will be for 4k gaming.
Phanteks XT M3: One of the best mATX cases I've seen. Front and bottom fans and not as wide as other dual-chamber cases.
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D: Best gaming CPU, apparently.
MSI MAG B850M MORTAR WIFI: Good features but most importantly, the GPU is in the top slot which makes it easier to install bottom intake fans.
Palit GamingPro OC GeForce RTX 5080: Short and with the above motherboard, should allow for ample fan clearance.
TRYX PANORAMA ARGB: Asetek liquid cooler but a bit pricey. I like the panoramic screen, though.
Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM Chromax Black: Expensive but supposedly quiet fans. They come with grey swappable corners that actually match the fans in the AIO nicely.
Overall, I like the black aesthetic with minimal lighting but interested to see where I could improve. The PSU, for instance, is probably not the best.
