Hi everyone
So my current build is now approaching 2 years of age, and i believe it is due for an upgrade and a downsize.
My current specs are:
CPU: AMD A10- 7850k Quad-core and 3.7 GHz w/ turbo up to 4.0 GHz
CPU cooler: Cooler Master hyper 212 evo
Motherboard: Some gigabyte matx board (i'm to lazy to check)
Storage: 1TB WD blue and a 120GB Kingston SSD
Case: Corsair Carbide SPEC-02 (45L)
PSU: Some 430w unit (i'm to lazy to check
ODD: Some generic LG full sized drive
OS: Windows 10 64 bit
RAM: 2 4 GB sticks of Kingston value @ 1600 MHz.
As you can see, it was a pretty bad build, most because my AMD fanboy friend convinced me to get an apu.
Now my computer knowledge has come a pretty long way in these 2 years, i am still in need of help from you guys, mostly with the small form factor parts i would like to choose.
I have already decided that i would like to build this in the Silverstone raven rvz02, and that i'm going to buy a AMD rx 460 in the near future.
Besides that though, i haven't really decided anything else, and that's where you guys come in. I will be keeping the APU, the ram and my HDD and SSD, so everything else is up for replacement. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and feedback on anything really, so thank you in advance.
Things i would like in the suggestions:
CPU cooler: Obviously one that will fit
Motherboard: ITX and comes with WiFi in a m.2 slot (802.11ac WiFi would be best)
PSU: a SFX psu that can run everything fine, prob no better then 80+ silver as not to break the bank
ODD: i don't really care
Thanks again for any feedback and suggestions
Notes:
I am only 14 so i don't have a bunch of money lying around, so nothing crazy
I will be gone from AUG 11-18 so i wont be seeing anything during that time.
Thanks again!!
Edit Now i am also considering the ncase m1 so which do you guys think i should use: the rvz02 or the m1??
