Component advice for NZXT H1 build

[Sorrywhat24]

Looking to build my 2nd PC as my current one is getting old. I do average level gaming and general use including occasional Adobe CC use (Photoshop, Illustrator & XD) Primarily shooters: Call of Duty, Forza, Minecraft (Modded & w/ Shaders) and some fortnite

Im looking at roughly £800 with some leeway (NZXT H1 case included in budget. costs $349 on their .com site)

Am planning on building within the next few weeks before my bday (unless there are specific next-gen components coming out in the next month or two that's *really* worth waiting for.

The components I'm after (and would like recommendations/advice on are:

Appropriate ITX motherboard, compatibie CPU, GPU and RAM (ideally 16GB) and potentially an M.2 SSD
Case comes with power supply & CPU cooler

could potentially use my exisiting SSD for OS/games library if buying a new M.2 SSD (for OS) eats into the budget too much

I'm not planning on overclocking and my only requirements are:

Motherboard with decent onboard wifi capabilities (attachable arials welcome) as existing PC has poor connection
compontents that are compatible with each other & work together (not sure how common bottlenecking is these days)

Aesthetic wise, I'll be using the mini ITX NZXT H1 case, black/dark components are preferred, I'm going for a sleeper/covert look so not bothered about flashy compontents

Essentially just looking for components that'll be the best bang for my buck, that will handle average 1080p 60fps gaming at 60hz. Any future proofing would be awesome too

Any advice is welcome, has been 5-6 years since I built my current PC and am not particularly up to date with new compontents and what works best together.

My current pc does use an AMD rx480 - and this * could* be carried over if it would manage my usage but I'm not sure it can, the CPU and motherboard in my current build are certainly struggling, and I'm looking for something smaller and sleeker, hence the new build, any advice would be great!

Sorry for the long post! :/

My apologies! No, I'm from the UK, have just been researching the NZXT case and it's in dollars on their site, so had also figured out what my components would cost in dollars too, ignore that!

You can re-use the RX 480, especially if you don't use many of the GPU accelerated features for your editing and you're happy turning down the details. The RX 480 would struggle with the latest games though.

Haven't looked at this case before, does it use a riser? If so, you might want to check how well that works with PCI-E 4.0 cards.

It does use a riser I believe if you're talking about a bendy GPU connector thingy (if we're using the proper names for things) and I could potentially use the rx480 until the next gen guy's come out as long as they'd be compatible with the motherboard

Ah right, well you could do it without a new GPU for £800... Does it really have to be the H1? It's a very expensive case (even with the cooler & psu).

If you really want ITX form factor, there are lots of others much cheaper that look smart. Like the Lian Li PC-TU150 and CoolerMaster have a new MasterBox NR200P as linked below coming out.

Unfortunately I'm a sucker for aesthetics, and I do really like this case, despite the price tag. I'm not really a fan of something short and boxy, ideally I'm looking for something not too wide and slim, or tall without much depth.

Are there any cases you'd reccomend that are small and fit those specs? Anything sleek and minimal with little branding is what I'm after, I could possible use my current 600w power supply if it was a different case to bring the price down further.

Budget wise on reflection I'd say £1000 is maximum all-in, and I could use the rx480 with the new cpu and motherboard and if it wasn't enough I'd use any leftover money to upgrade to a new GPU early September? Would those GPU's be compatible though? And what CPU & motherboard combo offers the best compatibility with a potential new NVIDIA gpu.

Thanks for your help so far!
