Hi all,

hope everyone is doing ok. Im working to put together a build for my sister. I did post a few months back but life got in the way so thought its better we start fresh. I havent build a rig in 5 or 6 years now so very out the game.
We are trying to keep the spend to under £1200. Ideally £1000. So we dont need a screen or peripherals.
It will mostly be used for games like Sims 4 and old city builders. Possibly the odd new game but nothing too mental.

We have 1 none negotiable and that's the case and form factor. She loves the - Lian Li A3-mATX Tempered Glass Micro-ATX Case (Black)
And 1 we would like - Some sort of AIO with a screen as its going to be a desk based build.

This is what i have so far but motherboards confuse the hell out of me. Still need cooling and powersupply etc so will need to cutback somwhere, any help would be great. Ideal we want to order this week and build next weekend so might try avoid pre order products if i can.

any help would be really appreciated

That motherboard will not fit, you need MATX.

Not sure which board is best so will let others advise on that, but you should be able to get B650/B850 for around the the same price as the one you listed.

Example PSU and cooler.

The X3D will be better for gaming, especially with city builders etc. everything should fit, @tamzzy has an A3 so should be able to confirm.

Stuck on phone at work ATM so apologies for any guffs.
