new build

First SFF build, first custom loop, first RGB...a lot of firsts for me. And it went...slowly. Parts were not available, something came broken, didn't fit, wasn't compatible, needed to order something I didn't realize I needed...etc. It's not perfect by any means, but I'm happy the way it turned...

Hi Im planing a bilos in the LIQUE case, perhaps the Dan A4 Gaming is the focus, given the substantial wait for those cases. I have time to wait for hardware. I’m planing on gaming, 1440p And have so far set my mind on RTX 2080, and 9700k. And an nvme ssd. Giving the times and amd on the...

Hello, I'm new here, and I haven't built a PC before. With the release of Nvidia's new Super graphics cards, my goal is to build a long-lasting ITX system this July. I'd like that build to centre around the four components listed in this thread's title. The first three prove to be reliable...

I currently have my system housed in a Corsair 280x "matx" case. It's fantastic, pretty and goes on sale relatively often. I'd recommend it; fact of the matter is I want to port my build over to a "sff" case to save some desk space and not have to haul around a giant cube everywhere I go...

Hi all, I'm looking for a little guidance on my part selection for my new SFF build (my first), I'm looking for as close to a no compromise build as possible so top tier CPU, GPU etc as I want this thing to last (my last PC is 6 years old and still going strong). But I'm discovering I may have...

I am upgrading a HTPC and am concerned that 330W with a 1070ti won't be enough to power it. The calculators I have been using have been giving conflicting answers. Points of concern: Wall power unknown quality - I live in an apartment complex. 330W AC Adapter reliability - does it really...

Hello again! This is probably about as "SFF" as I'll be getting for a long while. I decided to downsize from my NZXT H200i into an Inwin A1. I've removed the ATX PSU it came with so I can transfer the SFX PSU I have into it, hopefully. My only concern is how to get the wireless charger working...

Hi, I'm looking into building a SFF mITX PC and would like to get some advice as I begin to put together a parts list. I want to focus on simplicity without sacrificing power, the most intensive thing I do is gaming but I want to be able to get good frame rates and quality from titles like the...
