I am replacing my 6 year old rig and planning to build a ITX Gaming at 1440p / Programming rig. My main usage is Gaming,Netflix and youtube but possible might want to use for programming.

Gaming: FPS like Battlefield, upcoming Cyberpunk 2077, Monster hunter

Programming: Web Development ,Possible VM

Planning to buy (Budget 1.5k to 2k )
Motherboard: MSI b450I Gaming AC
Processor: Ryzen 5 3600
RAM: 8gb x 2 Corsair Vengenance LPX 3200 CL16
GPU: Gigabyte RX 5700XT Gaming OC
PSU: Corsair SF600 Gold

Purchase /Reuse
HDD 1: AData XPG SX8200pro 1TB NVM E (Brought)
HDD 2: Samsung 860 evo 1TB SSD (Reuse)
Case : NCase M1 V6 (Brought)
Monitor 1: Prism+ 315pro (Re use)
Monitor 2: Dell Monitor (Re use)

Due to the space constraints for the case, I can't get powercolor red devil or Sapphire Pulse

I am not sure whether I should go to Nvidia Camp, Due to AMD Graphic driver issue that I read awhile back. Is it stable yet?
For CPU coolers, I am still conflicting between AIO (NZXT x52 or Silverstone Tundra TD02 RGB 240mm ) vs air cooler (Noctua c14s which need to get from amazon)
Is there any suggestion for the other parts. Thanks for the help!

Everything looks good. I'm going for SFX build myself too, my build is roughly similar to yours.

I think the nvidia driver issue won't be a problem. Lots of people recommending AMD with Nvidia GPU, if its a problem then jia lat liao haha!

Actually I was about the AMD graphic drivers issues. Want to go full team Red but that is stopping me. Man the ITX tax sucks, like the PSU is hard to get SFX size and it cost more than the ATX PSU haha

Does your case support SFX-L? If so can also Seasonic's SGX series, extra 3 years warranty compared to the Corsair.

Nice build, I have quite a similar build. I would go for AIO but my case is too small to accommodate. The向2 is啊good choice if your case can house it.

The msi b450i has power/led pins in a odd position, i had to get jumper extenders for my case to reach it, you might want to look into that.

I could not find that AIO you mention. Thanks for the MSI info, I will go and look into that!

PSU either go for FSP Dagger Pro 650W Gold $135 or Corsair SF750 Platinum $210

Don't bother those in between.

Thats was the other choice by the sff pc community but i see the price hahaha

750w Platinum is overkill for my build, FSP Dagger I will read thru it.

As for noctua, it is either from newegg or amazon, could not find it in SG
