how large is your zotac? For CH 260, a 16cm can actually squeeze in if your gpu isn't too long. I was using a 16cm full ATX PSU on the CH270 plus for the longest time before i bought a SFF PSU

Most PSU is 160mm x 150mm. I tik u shld try fix 1st. U r not using iTX casing. shld be able to fit.

Zotac card is 303.5mm x 115.8mm x 55.7mm
I think both of you are right, when i look at Lian Li, I look at side mount PSU config, this cause the GPU length support only 258mm. but if i mount front side. it support 334mm.

For CH260, already mention max PSU is 150. because its side mounted, i think this one no hope unless change PSU.

For Jonsbo, it is stated:
ATX PS2 PSU Clearance：

• When the GPU is installed in the first PCI-E slot of the chassis, the maximum length of the power supply is 150mm, and the recommended length is ≤140mm

I nominate montech century 2:

https://www.montechpc.com/century-ii-850w

Dimensions (L*W*H) - 140*150*86mm

Alternatively, you can consider the FSP Vita GM. I'm using it with my Jonsbo D32 pro and it fits without any issue. I'm also using it with a 9070xt sapphire pulse.

Main advantage over superflower is that they offer 10 years warranty.

Montech looks good as its smaller size. for FSP who is the distro?

ch 260/270 i can only say i fit a 150mm psu with the biggest card xfx mercury 9070xt was very tight. so 160mm might need see how flexible the cable is liao.

currently fixing a d32 pro with cooler master mwe gold 850. 150mm long but i see got ample space to fit 160mm.

i see can fix up by today or not as in need sit in the gpu and see if got amppel space to sit 160

I doubt got space for 160. I'm using 150 right now and the cables are already a tight squeeze. 160, you probably run the risk of the cables being damaged.

Hi all,

I'm choosing between 2 invaderpc specs just for normal gaming (Diablo 2 Resurrected, Diablo 4, maybe some WoW), and general use (e.g., watching YouTube, some Excel/Word/PowerPoint). Ok to play with 1080p, but would be great if these work for entry-level 1440p too.

I can't post links, so copy pasting the specs below.

Any pros and cons between the 2, or what would be your recommendation? If there are alternative more value-for-money specs, do also let me know. Also great if anyone can let me know if there are any easy upgrades that I can make on any components. Thanks!

invader pcs are always quite balanced customised. go for the higher 16gb gpu and upgrade your psu.

the games u mentioned u will be playing are not super difficult to run, either of these rigs will work fine and will easily run them at 1440p high-ultra. out of these 2, the 5060ti 16gb build would be better value as it's only a $100 top up (<7% premium) for a ~15% stronger gpu with double with the vram. that said,

there is a 7500f + 9060xt 16gb pc they are offering for $10 less than the 5060 build above. the 9060xt is very comparable to the 5060ti performance wise and still offers the 16gb vram capacity which will help in keeping it usable for longer. the 7500f and 7700 are also quite comparable in gaming while being a tier faster than the 225f in cpu limited gaming.

invader should be able to help u upgrade almost anything on their checkout page other than ram and ssd (for unfortunate reasons), but even those are simple enough to diy. u can consider psu upgrade like networked mentioned, something like the silverstone et750g would be ok for a slightly better quality unit but not strictly necessary given the low overall power consumption.

kinda depressing to see these used to cost a lot closer to $1k last year though :frown:
