Want to get back into Mini ITX Desktop Gaming with a 2K Budget

[pumaz]

I currently have a ASUS TUF F15 RTX 4060 gaming laptop which to be honest is a chore to play on, so now I’m looking at a Gaming PC to replace it and obviously after the best bang per buck!

I mostly play FPS and Racing games like Battlefield and Forza. I have no preference over AMD or intel for CPU’s and GPUs. I would also lean more towards stealth black over white with disco lights

In that 2K Budget I will also need a good 27” 1440p Monitor and 4TB Nvme drive.

Looking forward to you guys putting a good balanced system using parts available from OcUK

Thanks all

This is MATX rather than ITX, but there are some advantages, like you don't need a SFX PSU with this case and the motherboards are cheaper.

Looks great thanks, just wondering LG monitor better than the similarly priced ASUS TUF Gaming VG27AQ monitor?

Im an lg fan but idont think there's much between the 2 monitors , Rtings scores the the lg at 6.9 while the Asus at 6.5 Nothing in it really but always best to check reviews.

Just a reminder to check spec and clearances to makes sure no issues, come back from with any changes you want to make and the guys will check it for you.
