System Usage: Gaming, Web Developer, Streaming, Music, Internet.

Are you buying a monitor: Not sure

Parts to Upgrade: All

Overclocking: No

SLI or Crossfire: No

Additional Comments: Looking for a mini ITX build

Why Are You Upgrading: Had my current PC since 2014 and is starting to show its age, Battlefield 1 is always showing the slow graphics icon warning. COH2 has trouble keeping up with 4v4. Low FPS in newer games even with low settings.

Initial Ideas:

Will this PC last for 4/5 years and be able to play most games at 60fps?

Do any of the parts look like they will not fit inside the case together?

Any improvements for the build?

The Core 500 would be the case he wants.

Which case is this?

I have no desire to keep the DVD drive, its just from my old PC and god knows when I used it last.
I am not set on the GPU either if it is getting in the way of a smaller case and another GPU will still deliver the same performance.

If you're looking for a good small ITX build this is a great case for it

If you switch the GPU to the one i suggested it will fit in here with all your other parts.

You where right I have swapped out the GPU removed the DVD drive and voila the case is there

There you go, thats a great small build. I'd mount the radiator to the top of the case.

You'll need to contact Corsair for an AM4 mounting adapter for your H75, they will probably send it to you for free.

Well that's annoying The Core 500 is out of stock everywhere, is there another case you would recommend?

Check out the Coolermaster Elite130 or Elite 120 Advanced (that one can fit a long GPU)

The Corsair Obsidian 250D is a nice little cube, however a bit bigger

In-Win A1 is a bit expensive, but very cool mini case

See if any of those are near you

The Corsair 250D will accept a 240mm AIO on it's side...no reason why the H75 can't be mounted at the front as intake though.

RL, beat me to it 😛
