Hi. This is my first post and I feel a little guilty about presenting as so needy.
I've never built any computer let alone a SFF but I have until September to figure it all out.
I'd just like to know if I have made any (many) egregious errors in my component selection. Or if my summer will feel like I am trying to put an aircraft carrier into a bottle during assembly..
My goal is sub 1000 dollars.
Capable of running most current games on medium + settings at 60+fps
Reasonably quiet
SFF ish (woohoo!)
ok here goes.....
Intel - Core i5-9400F 2.9 GHz 6-Core Processor
Noctua - NH-U12S 55 CFM CPU Cooler
ASRock - H310M-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard
G.Skill - Aegis 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Western Digital - Blue 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
Zotac - GeForce GTX 1660 6 GB GAMING Video Card
NZXT - H200 Mini ITX Tower Case
Silverstone - 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified SFX Power Supply
Silent Case fans ???
Comes to about 1000 dollars Canadian before shipping
This is my absolute ceiling (of course I would prefer a better cpu and graphics card) and if we add something we have to shave something else.
Who is kidding who .... my budget ceiling is 800 bucks but I expect this community understands how I got over budget.
Anyway, I hope I posted somewhere near the correct forum.
Thanks to anyone who comments and passes judgement.
Oops, please move this to buids if it belongs there, sorry.
thankyou
