From someone who have done the SFF route, I recommend avoiding ITX or minipc type builds.I actually have been seriously considering mini pc. I think it likely will be able to fit what I need to do/use for. but am a sucker for big-arse casing and also easier to self replace parts if needed.hence, still looking outfor more traditional build over mini-pc.
anyway, what's a good brand? mini-pc to look into? since haven't made up my mind, maybe I can go have a look.
in short yes...... but i dont recommend gaming on both of them unless u are playing minesweeper or 2d games...
The 8700G is about the same performance as an RX6400
but rx 6400 the card it self is already so wrong...
Completely agreed. But the 8700G is not entirely restricted to just 2D games. It can do a bit more.
-f suffix definitely has no igpu, so avoid if not buying dgpu.
b550 boards are generally not bottom of the barrel products like a520 ones, so u usually get a better product overall. then again, am4 g series cannot take advantage of pcie gen4 offered by b550, so in some sense a520 is more well suited.
the fusion series are not just clones, they are straight rebadges of the sama im series
no different from most tecware cases.thats what i said:
dont think theres such a thing as a 7600f anyway.
as a dedicated gpu and paying dgpu money for it sure, but having that level of performance as integrated isnt too bad and can make for some interesting tiny builds, especially compared to what was previously available.
so the man has spoken... haha-f suffix definitely has no igpu, so avoid if not buying dgpu.
for ryzen 5000 series and earlier (am4), only those with -g suffix (eg 5500gt, 5700g) have igpu. these are what i refer to as am4 g series.
for ryzen 7000 series and later (am5), simply avoid those with -f suffix (for now 7400f, 7500f, 8400f, 8700f), everything else have igpu.
which tier and gen of ryzen depends on ur performance target and budget.

last time i always used to think i will buy a cpu with a igpu so that i can troubleshoot my my gpu in case something goes wrong.. but each time.. 2 times in a row.. its the mb who failed me... haha
i was using Biostar mb for a 7 years too on my amd 550 cpu... also mb failed me.. in the end i had to change to a asus one..

Main thing is what's your use case and budget? Are you only buying from SLS?
What was your PSU?
i was using seasonic psu 520w
Mainly a secondary rig at my partner's house that we can both use to game, 1080p, probably no AAA games.
