First Time Small from Factor Help!!!

[cmbtdodo]

Hi,

Been wanting to make use of a small form factor case for a while and settled on two options

Silverstone SST-ML09B - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/silverstone-sst-ml09b-milo-mini-itx-case-black-ca-43c-sv.html

Or

Fractal Design Note 202 - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/fractal-design-node-202-mini-itx-htpc-case-black-ca-061-fd.html

Just struggling to decide what to actually put inside as obviously space is limited in both.

The use of the machine is going to be living room HTPC + Current Gen Gaming with a budget between £600-£800.

If anyone has any experience with this help would be appreciated I'm not expecting for anyone to provide a build (if anyone does wish to wouldn't frown on it) just looking for advice. Shall post up a planned build shortly.

So this is what I've come up with going on the node 202 due to the graphics card options it provides

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660Ti WindForce OC 6144MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £259.99
• 1 x Fractal Design Node 202 Mini-ITX HTPC Case - Black= £73.99
• 1 x AMD Ryzen 5 Six Core 2600 3.90GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail= £139.99

Seems a pretty good build. I'd be tempted to look at the new 1660 super gpus. They have very similar performance to the 1660ti for a little bit cheaper

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Palit GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER StormX OC 6144MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £209.99

Total: £219.89 (includes shipping: £9.90)​

Something like this one would also give you a little more room to work with.
