Thoughts on budget itx build

[StefanMcFeeters]

Hi. I'm building a computer for each of my 2 younger brother, i'm on a very low budget seeing as i have to build 2. The PC is intended to play minecraft smoothly so i'm hoping the parts I have chosen will suffice.

Would love some input and recommendations.
Cheers.

You did a good job. Considering that the products on PCPartPickerAU are quiet expensive and you do not have plenty of options especially for ITX.

Does it have to be ITX ?

Why not microATX ? Should be easier to find parts

Cheers. I just changed the motherboard to a microATX model which saved around $20. Just making sure the PC will be able to run minecraft smoothly.

It is an microATX and you have a better build IMO
