How much would a Micro-ATX Ryzen 1400/1500 cost just the case psu and cpu,im assuming my gpu would be ok.Im guessing the ram would be different.Im sure i could install the ssd and hdd,cd writer,Pm me if you'd rather do that.

Thanks again

Yes, memory is DDR4 in Ryzen and your GPU would be fine.

I'll put together an example build - doing lunch at same time - but it will appear...

I'm stuck in my den working - don't worry (i use these forums as a welcome distraction)

Keep in mind that if you didn't need an optical drive there are more elegant cases to choose from

The first rig is overkill for an HTPC but so was a 3470 so did an equivalent upgrade as an example. You could put a GTX 1060 in this and plough through any games at 1080P on max. Your GTX 1050Ti would enjoy the ride too...

Note that you could sub in 8Gb of memory for only £75 - and would suffice and save you £45.

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £515.25
(includes shipping: £12.30)





This second build is geared more to the HTPC but would still pair well with the 1050Ti and game well. It has a budget board, less memory and the quality of the PSU is not as good - but it saves you £100

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £415.21
(includes shipping: £12.30)

This build may be best the compromise for price, gaming and quality - i personally would spend the extra £20 and get the Ryzen 1500, which ever combination you go for.

Essentially yes - but we can help with that too.

You need to be aware that the case is considerably bigger than your previous case - but it will accommodate standard sized components so future upgrades wouldn't be such a headache (although still measure large GFX cards).

There are more cases to choose from - i picked the most reasonably prices/quality one.

Have a look at other cases and look over the parts -you can mix and match according to your budget/needs.

If I was to buy one of these would I need anything.IE coolers fans stuff like that.Also how long for delivery .
 
The CPU will come with the Wraith cooler which is very effective for a stock cooler.

The case comes with a couple of fans (i think) - you may want to add a top venting fan at a later date if required - but i would wait and see how it performs first.

As for delivery - if the items are in stock it's usually the next working day if ordered before a certain time (3pm?)
 
I really have no clue on sizes of motherboard to fit what size of case if I bought the first system you posted.would the define mini c be ok size wise.i will leave you in peace now.

The Define C doesn't have an optical bay.

As you need the optical drive bay the below is a great choice - virtually the same case. It has a door which hides the optical drive bays.

I used a lot of Fractal Designs in builds (larger versions) - and their sound proofing is very effective.

I only use the optical for installing os. But I can do that from a thumb drive.so I don't need one really..thanks again you have been very helpful.

No worries - hope whatever you decide goes smoothly.

As you don't need the optical drive i'll leave you with another case for consideration.

Small, sleek design - and would look neat and tidy if out on display used as an HTPC:

i am on the site now and have got a basket full of bits can you check them if that is possible to make sure they are all compatable with each other and that you think the choices ive made are sound.
 
Sure - copy the bb code and paste it on here (if it's OCUK otherwise just list the parts). It will save you a lot of typing.

Cooking so may be delays in response...
