Living room gaming PC (low budget steam box) build

Hi all,

I'm looking to build a ryzen based system but I'm stuck for a mobo. I don't have much room in the case as its an htpc case really for maximum OH appeal.

So what I need advice for (specifically) is a mobo that supports ryzen APUs and has a PCIe SSD slot. I don't really have too much room for a sata drive of any kind. I've attached a picture of the case I'm using in case there are any questions.

Thanks,
David

Thanks very much for your suggestion. I need to refer to the case manual but *I think* it's mini-itx only.

you said its just a mobo that you're stuck on but what is the rest of the components you have?

To be honest very few but I'm constrained by space. I have a bluray drive and some ram from another build.

I could, at a push, cable tie a standard sata ssd to the case somewhere but there really isn't too much room.

Why do you ask? do you foresee other issues?

Fair enough. I was looking to use an m.2 drive anyway so that's good if most support it these days. I'm happy to replace any ram I have. I'll always have uses for old ram so it's not such and issue.
