Joshua we communicated earlier - this though looks like the official community
area for this sort of discussion.

I've refined and made the build in progress hardware more concise here.

ESTIMATED : 258 Watts on PCBUILD

On BreadBox Test Table
=====================
CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 2700 3.2 GHz 8-Core Processor 65WATTS
MB : Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO WIFI Mini ITX AM4 Motherboard
RAM : Kingston HyperX Fury 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
SSD : Gigabyte 128 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive & Intel 545s 128 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
GPU : MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB Video Card

Missing parts of the Puzzle
=============
Cooler : NH L9i
Case: SkyReach
Pico : HDPLEX 400W Hi-Fi DC-ATX
PSU : DELL la330pm160 Dor equivalent external
or brickless with 1050 or other GTX card.

I'm surprised my 2nd hand MSI GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB Video Card Mitx card
while within the 125 length ie [175 x 115 x 38 mm] -- it clocks in at 120Watts!

You mentioned using the EVGA 1660i to go a brickless build, can't afford
that at the moment.

Brickless would be very sweet on this build. Since this is a CPU preferred build for my
unique video art application I'm very willing to downgrade to a Nvidia 1050 to economize on
wattage - if brick-less is possible.

Can you recommend a low wattage 1050 or equivalent Mitx card?
