Question Feedback for SFF Gaming PC

[ShadowDragon25]

Hello,

My friend has been using a windows boot drive to play games with us on his Mac Book Pro. But has issues with it not charging properly when in Windows mode.
I am putting together a parts list for him and looking for some feedback. Currently I am struggling to find a GPU and its prices. As I am sure everyone is struggling with that.
So haven't included the GPU in the parts list. He is willing to spend £800-£1000. It currently is a little pricey on the list. Please provide any feedback. He will be using it with his new 4k TV, the
LG 49NANO866NA (2020) LED HDR NanoCell 4K Ultra HD Smart TV. It doesn't need to necessarily run at 4k, due to the budget. He ahs his Xbox Series X to play games at 4K. We play Halo MCC (which can now be played cross platform), Raft, Golf with Your Friends, and will be playing either Rainbow Six Siege or League of Legends. Along with some other random silly multiplayer games like Among Us, Duck Game, and others.

Much appreciated.

I know it’s going to kill the budget but a 3060Ti would be an excellent choice. The 2000 series cards are in my opinion overpriced for their level of performance. The 3060Ti runs cool and out performs the 2080 Super and can be found in smaller sizes. A 2080 or 2080 Super might be an alternative if you can get them at a good price but they do run hotter which much be an issue with a SFF.

Amazing thanks. Do you think the rest of the build is worth it for the price?

Not bad tbh but if you are willing to go with a mid tower I can knock off 100 quid off that price which would leave you 400 quid for a RTX 3060 Ti when they hit the shelves. The Palit RTX 3060 Ti should price right at 400 which would fit your £1000 budget.

Is the budget with or without the GPU? Can make a solid PC either way, but want to make sure.

Hello,

My friend wants one that is small and almost console like. He doesn't want a tower. He like the Phanteks Evolv Shift Air look. So case won't be changed sadly.

Is the budget with or without the GPU? Can make a solid PC either way, but want to make sure.

Preferably include a GPU in it.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/dXcrp2 I haven't got the GPU in yet. He is happy to go with a little more than £1000 if he can get stuff on finance using PayPal.

 

[ShadowDragon25]

Here is an updated list for the build. Any feedback again is welcomed. I estimate the 3080 will be £600-£1000 so this may be too high for his budget.

Do people think the 3060 coming out at the end of Feb would work with a 4k 120hz TV?
