So my mini turned up last week (stock colours, standard machined button and flex ribbon)
I've ordered all my components:
Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz - Red
AMD Ryzen 7 Eight Core 1700X
Asrock X370 Mini-ITX Motherboard
Noctua NH-L9i cooler and AM4 adapter
330W Dell Power Brick
HDPLEX 400W
I was going to go with the Geforce GTX 1070, but it's now out of stock at any reasonable prices in the UK... so now to pick something else that will fit, I'd liek to go AMD but I don't think they have many offerings.
I am using this build to replace an old MATX build that was in a waaaay too big a case (it took up more desk space than a conventional ATX tower), that had a 4790K and R9 Nano.
My main requirment for a good PC is gaming, but I also do a lot of CAD work, I wish I could have afforded 32GB RAM, but this may be a future investment.
I'm trying to keep things black/red just because.. style is cool. On subject of style I hope to eventually do something to the case/exterior if I get round to it. Just seen the wraps Josh has organised, I may end up buying one just to be simple. I'm unsure.
