Hi all, I'm looking at building a system (on a budget) with my old GeoForce GTX 970.

I'm after advice on a motherboard, CPU, RAM, compact case, power supply.

TY

Here's two reviews of the current Intel 10th gen Comet Lake i5 10400F. Expect the newer Rocket Lake version of that chip (i5 11400F) to pump out as good if not better numbers.
