Will be building into a Evga Hadron Air case and using the supplied PSU which is my only concern
and pairing with a Vega 56 gaming at 1440p


any better MITX options out there for sub £1000?



My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £922.46 (includes shipping: £10.50)​

You could save a lot of money dropping to a Gen3 NVMe (or get 2TB version for same money) - no discernible real speed gain for every day usage.

You may find this thread of interest - very small/compact but keeps things cool with clever design- Clicky using the Silverstone RVZ03 (Would need a separate PSU - but dropping to Gen 3 NVMe would achieve this easily, quality too)

They also do a sleeker design in the form of below:

The Hadron's PSU only has one GPU power cable with two connectors. Your mileage may vary with a Vega for which two separate cables are recommended (and sometimes needed).

need to double check this as its sitting in the office but i'm positive its currently sitting with a 280x in it which is 6pin and a 8 pin
 
Will need to check but I'm sure an x470 board will be a lot cheaper if you go with a gen3 ssd. Doubt you will need pcie 4 any time soon.

It probably is - but daisy chained via one cable - i.e. two connectors on the one cable. @Danny75 is referring to stability issues that some users encounter if larger/power hungry GPUs (VEGA cards included) are powered the same way. Ideally, for stability, you would have two independent cables powering each slot (an adaptor could be used).
 
i'd imagine it should be ok, the hadrons PSU whilst only 500w kicks out a beefy 40amps on the 12v

that said if its an issue i'd be cheaper with a new case and atx psu than trying to source a beefy 1u unit

is budget creep not supposed to only go upwards :D:D:D:D

This should help:

I would stick to purely SSDs as your budget permits and you're making significant saving on original spec (unless you need the large amount of storage) - i.e. 1 x 2TB NVMe Gen 3 (similar price to your 1TB Gen 4).
