Hey everyone, thanks for the view, building here in Colombia so I don't have access to Ebay, Offer Up, or the plentiful of resources for used parts :) I currently have a build but I'm going to be selling and building a new mini-itx in the Meshlicious. This video below has a water cooled variant of a Meshlicious build which I don't know if it's too far out of reach as I've never water-cooled anything. This will be my 4th build overall.

I'm just trying to have a nice case like this sit on my desk that I can use for 1080p gaming and streaming. Budget 800-1000 maybe more?

I guess I'm asking for help since I am no expert in the latest and greatest budget builds and CPU's for Intel etc...

The water cooling is about out of the question to cool the whole PC your going to be in the 600 area at the least. Water block for the CPU & GPU, tubes, pump, fittings, rad, fans, fluid, reservoir, then comes the regular maintenance of draining, flushing, and refilling the loop

The 2060 is not much of a upgrade from a 1660ti I might buy a low end video card to put in the build your selling and keep the 1660ti.

Instead of doing that I would probably just buy a 3060ti and upgrade the power supply if needed.

It's not like your going to have 100 people come in your house and say WOW at your PC.

EDIT always performance over looks unless you just have money to throw away.
Probably not what you wished to hear but just the way it is.

This is kind of what I came up with, hoping to get the 3060ti for about $450.00 dollars around here in Colombia, I see I can get it on Amazon used for around that price but shipping it may be an issue...

I don't know if I can make this build any better... I'd love for anyone to try but yeah I think everything else is budget oriented minus the GPU and Case.
