Define Mini C is the best case. It has no compromises whatsoever in terms of silence and cooling, while it is smaller than the smallest compact ATX cases.

Still not a single mATX AM4 motherboard in existence with a 1220 audio codec. New Intel CPU barely gets out, and there are already two!

Only 2 chassis fan headers unlike with the MSI board...can the water pump header serve as a normal, air pwm chassis fan?

Precisely, I've long held the opinion that ATX is unnecessarily large, and that mATX should replace it as a mainstream platform, for both cases and motherboards. ITX not so much because of the only 2 dimm slots restriction..

Can't believe it. A mATX board that simultaneously has all the features: 4 dimm slots latest audio codec integrated wifi Everything else is top notch as well, including the unusually high number of system fan connectors. No compromises whatsoever! P.S. (they've mistakenly put "ATX" at the...

Yes, it looks like even the cheap, lower-end Coffee Lakes perform better than the previously best-buy Ryzens.. The 8700k results are borderline workstation-grade, while offering the best gaming performance.

Maya, Unreal Engine 4, 3D Coat, and some other auxiliary programs like Affinity Photo and Designer, but these are the main ones.

What would be your ideal, not overly expensive setup? Is the Coffee Lake wait worth it, or would you go for something like an overclocked Ryzen 1700? How much ram would you get, 16GB, or later upgrade to 32GB? What GPU would you buy?

Holy shit, Asrock will once again release their only mATX with an old audio codec. WTF??

Source. Thankfully, there will be a nice selection from MSI and Gigabyte. And if Asrock finally updated their audio codec...for the AM4 paltform not a single mATX MBO was released with the new audio codec.

PSU - BE QUIET! Straight Power 10 600W CM Case - Define Mini C, no window Case fans - BE QUIET! Silent Wings 3 fans, two 140mm front, one 120mm rear CPU - NOCTUA NH-D15S With this setup you don't get a quite PC, you get an absolutely SILENT PC. Really amazing. And there is no compromise in...

Are those for desktop or mobile? Because the AM4 socket will remain the same, so only a CPU switch will be sufficient for an upgrade.

BeQuiet Silent Wings 3 series are virtually inaudible at highest speed.

Is this as good as it can get?

I've just systematically checked all mATX AM4 motherboards from MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, and Asrock. Not a single one comes even close.
