Hey All! Been a while since I built myself something new and with the offerings from AMD now being so competitive again I figure it's time ... only really play things like Civ VI / Dying Light (2 when it's out).

I've gotten my own place recently but it's pretty small so need something mini ATX / ITX sized ideally that could play games at 1080/1440p comfortably (60fps+) without sounding like an aircraft!

Was thinking something like a 3600(X) / X570 mini ITX board? / 16GB / 1TB nvme SSD / 2070 Super ...

Not sure about a case or cooling but I'm not going to overlock the CPU (at least not for now) so could stick with the included cooler or would something beefier stay quite for longer? If I got a board with 2 x M2 slots is it worth sticking in an OS drive too and keeping one for games etc specifically?

Cheers!!
 
Thanks for the suggestions already - some food for thought! Just looked at a build video of that phanteks case - certainly a bit different!

I suppose I could compromise and get a normal ATX board for cheaper but try and go for as small a normal ATX case as possible??

I did like the idea of a tiny gaming PC but they are often louder and there are compromises like graphics card size etc so a full ATX but small case would maybe solve that - it wouldn't be the end of world!
 
If I were to forgo the SFF and get midi tower side setup how does the below look??

I can get the MSI B450 Gaming Carbon elsewhere for same price (out of stock here) so that's a good shout no?

That's my thinking now - I can actually get the 3700X for £276 elsewhere so that's s steal - is it worth having the AIO cooler for it or should I just use the included cooler if I don't plan on overclocking for now - can always stick an AIO in later if needed?
