Hey guys,

so i'm new to the site and have been doing searches and getting info on a build i plan on doing in the next week or two.

I'm calling it a Mini-ITX Multimedia PC because it will be used for graphic work and some gaming from time to time (Like Mass Effect, Forza racing games etc) It will also be used for watching, series, movies etc.

Where i'm from there isn't much options for SFX Power Supplies. So i'm limited. The plan is to use the Lian Li PC-Q04B, Mini-ITX case. Now to save on space I want to use an SFX psu. Would a Corsair SF CP-9020104 430w, 80 PLUS Gold, Modular be sufficient for either a 1050Ti or 1060 6gb gpu? Ill be throwing in the Intel Kaby Lake Core i5-7600K cpu (I wont be doing any OC at all) with 16gb DDR4 ram, possibly one 250gb SSD and either another SSD or a 2.5 2tb drive (Ill probably use like a 4tb external for backups)

The plan is to build a really small PC that can handle most of what i do as well as being able to easily move around the house when needed.

Im also very limited on Mini-ITX cases that are as small as the PC-Q04B.

This will be my first Mini-ITX build and would like to make sure I have my bases covered. Im going for the SFX to save on space for more airflow in the case considering how small the case is. Ill be using a low profile CPU Cooler as well which is the Thermaltake Engine 27 CL cooler. I might mount a fan at the bottom of the case and put the drives on the top.

Any advice or ideas is welcome!

PS: This is basically the best places I can buy proper PC components online in my country:

Between R15 000 ($1150 - $1900) - R25 000.

I wont be buying every single part altogether. It will be a fairly long build. Over a few months.
 
Here is the list:

Get the Case from below link
Lian-Li PC-Q04B
 


Would a micro ATX motherboard fit in that Lian Li case? From what i read and can see it can only fit Mini-ITX motherboards? Unless im heavily mistaken. Thanks for the list of parts. Ill have to check Wootware on that Samsung you mentioned. Id be lucky to get a 1080 for that price though. Its usually about R3000 more in most places. Will shop around on these parts. Thanks!
