    Onboard / Direct Plug PSU Advice (Mini-itx)

    Hey, finally some feedback! Thanks :) I have a Gigabyte 1050ti waiting in it's box, a dell 300w powerbrick. I will try the HDPlex 200w. I decided to downgrade to the best 65w TDP amd processor.

    Onboard / Direct Plug PSU Advice (Mini-itx)

    I found this: http://www.itxpower.net/en/itx300wh.htm It's a little bit lower profile than the HDplex 400w, so maybe this could be an option to at least allow some airflow.

    Yah 1650 looks good, wish they had a passive cooling version but i guess thats a bit too much to ask. Anyone know of the best low-profile passive cooling GFX card? Would that be the GT1030 or is there better?

    Mini-ITX GPU-less AND upgraded Build (feedback/improvement request)

But any way i can keep the cost of the build low while still maximizing performance will mean more profit margin for me in the final sale. I will consider doing a "budget" version...
