[SOLVED] SFF gaming pc

[Dimsweden]

Hi!

I am trying to build a mini itx gaming system and i would like to share link to a swedish store with the components i have chosen;

I want it to be really small, quite powerfull to handle AAA games on a 4k 60Hz monitor and balanced. Budget not an issue.
What do you think? All thoughts appreciated.
Thanks in advance

For a new rig, 32gb is a good idea, as games are getting ram hungry. I would go for at least DDR4 3200 ram, though. 2666 will hold back performance.

FYI, 4th gen ryzen releases this week.

Thanks for the replies.
I'll definitely check for higher speed RAM.
There are two things i am worried about;
Is the 10700 fast enough for AAA gaming or will it be a bottleneck? The 10700K is not compatible with the case, there is no cooler that can handle it (that fits in the case).
The cpu cooler i have chosen is one of the few that fits in the case. Can it really handle intensive sessions?

Given your intention of 4k gaming, it should be fine. The CPU becomes less of a factor, when the resolution goes up, as the load is placed more heavily, on the GPU. I tried doing a 3rd gen ryzen build, for your case, and that configurator needs some work. It wouldn't let me select, saying the speed was higher than the motherboard supported, which I know to be false.

Your build choices are "okay" but not the optimal choice.

The ryzen 3000 series use considerably less power and therefore less heat. At 4k you would hardly notice a difference between the intel and ryzen. There is a risk of thermal throttling with your chosen intel chip in that case with that cooler. You really need big air or good water cooling.

If you can wait for it ryzen 5000 series will be both cooler and run faster.

If you can i would shoot for a 3080. Theres a big difference @4k between that and the 3070. 8 gigs memory is somewhat limiting at 4k. 10gigs is borderline when some games consume 11 gigs @4k. (Especially in ray tracing). But as always check the depth/width of the card.
