Last Minute SFF AM4 build check!

You're very welcome mate! Any time!

Haha, it's funny you say that, I was exactly the same! I love having a SFF and a mid tower for their own seperate purposes, having the Ryzentosh hackintosh MITX at the desk gives you so much room on the floor - I cant have anything on the desk as I have massive speakers next to my 32" monitor.
Yeah that's fair enough, I took a risk on a 4070 despite being an AMD man, and it does me fine, at worst I have to use dlaa/dlss/frame generation/reflex, but I'd rather that and have everything maxed out vs hitting a limit of a card. Considering they're only like £50 these days more than a 7800XT I don't think they're bad at all for the current market prices of gpu's tbh.

I'd recommend just doing what I did and trying out whatever you're unsure about, at worst you can return it and only loose some postage and an evening of your time? Nothing to loose?
Yeah that's why I didn't bother mate, I only built my main rig this year and finished it by 26th july, and yeah I was originally going to go 7900xtx/5800x3d or am5, and I thought this is just pointless I BET for 'what I want' it'll be fine doing something lesser, and it was and costs nothing to run/undervolts like a beast/runs silent on air cooling with cheap BeQuiet fans, my room isn't a suana and I ended up £600 better off. Win Win!

FWIW, I like the fact we're of the same mindset, less is more, sometimes ;)
Just do what works for you my brother :)

Actaully i have another question, is it worth me getting windows 11 with this or sticking to windows 10? Think i'd prefer 10 tbh

I personally prefer to use Win 10 myself. Hate everything about Win 11 and there's nothing to be gained or lost from it :)
Haven't had any issues using Win 10 or any of my machines, really do not like the layout or anything about Win 11.

I'll only use it IF say a new version of DirectX comes out and requires me to use it to have it, like with Vista years ago, but can't see that happening with Win 12 in the works :)

So in my opinion, you're safe to continue to use Win 10 my brother :)
