Budget is budget. You get it to have something before achieving your target hardware. :) Later I'll sell my current GPU, and maybe CPU as well. Upgrading to AMD Ryzen 9 9950X and RTX 5080 later this year makes sense for me. I can lose some, doesn't matter as my financial situation would be...

Good competition is always good for us clients. I'll see then what is my best choice. For now, I need to decide about other parts as well. Would you rate my current two builds positively? Based on my understanding, both setups (mATX and mid tower) should work fine even with a stronger CPU in a...

Welcome back. :) You're right, it would be a better choice. But in the future I wanted to target a stronger CPU from AMD (AMD Ryzen 9 9950X). If I get a budget Intel CPU now, I would have to buy a motherboard for it as well. Then I would either have to stick with Intel for future upgrades or...

Youre right here. Now I am sure this extension card would cause numerous issues - so my only option for this mATX case (or possibly any mATX case) is to get a more costly motherboard with native USB4/Thunderbolt 4. I think logically this should cause no more issues, or am I wrong? My current...

Thanks for the recommendations. I actually had the Montech Air 903 on that list but thought it was too long for one response, so I removed it. :) I looked at its Max version though, so I’ll check out this other one too.

Thank you for responding and giving component suggestions. I will check it in detail. For now I'm pretty sure it is better to get another case. For now I made a list like this, What do you think? Problem raised in the criticism. Concrete requirement for a case to “solve” it: 1 ThunderboltEX 4...

I'm still considering your words here, since someone from my local tech service has pointed out a similar potential issue. I wanted to ask if another mATX case might be a better option here. For example, the Montech Heritage Micro ATX offers a bit more space. Otherwise, the Lian Li A3 should...

Thank you for sharing this as well. :) I'll take a detailed look at your component choices.

Thank you for the good advice as well. I agree with everything except the Arctic Liquid Freezer III. I like this AIO, but according to online reports and videos, the Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 does not fit in this case. Most/all online reports of issues related to 360 mm AIOs seem to involve...

Yes, one local tech service provider told me that fitting this card with a GPU could be a little hard. They said a 2.5-slot GPU won't fit. This is why I picked only 2-slot GPUs, like the INNO3D RTX 5070 Twin X2 OC 250×116×41 mm. I think there are high chances both would fit with this kind of...

Hi, I'm looking for constructive criticism and advice on my PC build. I'm not seeking specific purchase offers, I just need help deciding on the components. Format: mATX or mid tower Budget for PC: Around 6000–7500 PLN (maybe more if necessary). Translates to around 1400–1800 USD, or more (hard...
