Hi guys, this is my first time building in an ITX case and since I will be moving out for uni, I figured it would be easier to make something like this so I can save some space and easily transport it. I'm a bit scared about all the spacing but I think most of them should be fine? (I already have the 1060 with me in my current build)

Also for the stock cooler for the 3600, do you think it's worth trying first and see the temperatures before buying another cooler if needed? or is the stock cooler just straight up bad for itx builds?

Any help/tips would be much appreciated :)

Thanks in advance

That CPU will not work, without a motherboard bios udpate. Given the GPU being used, just get an R5 2600, or better yet, a 2700, for multitasking capability. Something like this. Changed to a better SSD also.
