I'd probably get the MESHLICIOUS if I wanted a small computer that can go into a cabinet and not overheat. Mesh for days.

Meshlicious

Meshlicious is a combination of MESH and Delicious. There’s so much mesh that your mouth will water. Breathable, mesh panels lets you savor the airflow and minty temps. · Fine mesh panels and well ventilated · 14.67 liters in size · Support for regular size hardware · High quality powder coated...

Looks interesting. I’m going to move the pc downstairs and see how it looks with the existing case

 

[arjgrundy]

Tried various angles with the existing PC and whilst I can hide it behind the cabinet, its nice on show if that makes sense. Messes with the OCD when it doesn’t look right lol.

I’ve moved it back upstairs connected to the monitor. If anything, I think you’re right and I should make the changes to the CPU and GFX card and go from there. A micro atx build does still tempt me but you’re right, it isn’t cheap.

Yes if you put that chassis in the TV room, I’d divorce you

Hahah!

Yeah the Mrs politely said it didn’t look quite right lol

That’s her way of saying the divorce papers are already signed

No but all joking side, unless you can hide it nicely, it does stick out.

Very true
I’ve done digging in relation to the case you recommended and I do quite like it. Ticks all the boxes. I know it wouldn’t fit in the cabinet however it might look more appropriate stood next to the cabinet perhaps lol

I'll post a budget option for your new setup below. See if you like it.

This is a good little build all in and gets you a nice upgrade over your current rig.
Do not go A520 chipset, it's not going to be able to handle an 8 core CPU. 5600X made no sense when it's only £30 cheaper than the 5700X.

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x AMD Ryzen 7 5700X Eight Core 4.6GHz (Socket AM4) Processor - Retail (SKU: CP-3D1-AM) = £229.99
• 1 x Phanteks Revolt SFX 80 PLUS Gold modular - 650 Watt (SKU: CA-0B5-PT) = £109.99
• 1 x Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 Low Profile CPU Cooler - 92mm (SKU: HS-03H-NC) = £39.95
• 1 x Asus GeForce RTX 3060Ti Dual Mini V2 OC LHR 8GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GX-47M-AS) = £469.99
• 1 x Asrock B550M-ITX/AC (AMD AM4) B550 Mini-ITX Motherboard (SKU: MB-17M-AK) = £137.99
• 1 x Ssupd Meshlicious Mini ITX Case - Tempered Glass - Black - PCIE 3.0 with Mesh Side Panel Bundle (SKU: BU-001-SU) = £139.98

Total: £1,139.59 (includes delivery: £11.70)​

Nice buid but no memory unless op is reusing his .

 

[arjgrundy]

Not bad- I think the white I prefer so might need to adjust the Noctua fans to a different colour possibly.
I do have the EVGA Supernova GS 550W PSU but take it that's not going to be enough now.

In terms of existing RAM. I have Team Group Night Hawk LED 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4
PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Dual Channel Kit. Not sure if it is worth changing this completely or adding to it

RAM is cheap and 3000 MT/s isn't quick but if you're on a budget and you're spending money on expensive SFF items, just stick with your current set of RAM sticks.

You can get the Noctua coolers in black if you wanted. You could also get a white 80mm AIO instead.

Thanks, appreciate it. I have seen a few people using the same AIO I have at the moment which is the NZXT Kraken X52 AIO Water Cooling Unit - 240mm. Tempted to re use it if it can handle the extra temps

Was suggesting OP save some squid and use his old RAM.

Thanks for helping me with it. Its given me the appetite to build a PC again lol

You probablly could use that evga 550w psu as well as long as everything fits, the 3060ti draws 200w.

Sure but it has to go into an ITX rig.

The meshlicious can take an ATX psu but it’s tight.

Yes I checked it will be tight but should fit, just giving op options and potential savings.
