mansa usually has somewhat expensive prices for the builds they offer, this is no different. suggest u take a look at dreamcore, they have a 12400f + 3070 build for slightly less, or a similarly spec-ed build for up to $130 cheaper, though the ssd capacities are 500gb instead of 1tb. if willing to diy, u could stand to save a lot too.

don't got for SI, overpriced crap. learn to DIY, it's not hard really. Just watch a few tutorial vids and you're good to go...

im a sucker for ITX builds so change your mb and case if you want something else, these specs are sufficient enough for 1080p. FYI, ignore the prices they are in USD, just reference the parts

learn to DIY, it's not hard really.

is not whether is hard or not, people go for si builds for convenience and after sales support. some si do offer pretty competitive pricing, so for those who dont have the time to learn, build or ownself troubleshoot and rather not run the risk of making mistakes and ruining a couple of thousand dollars worth of parts, they are valid options.

quite funny that u say diy is not hard, then recommend one of the harder form factors to build in itx parts are generally pretty expensive too, not to mention that the nr200 is a poor excuse for an itx case.

Agree here. ITX maybe not the way to start. I'm building my second ITX in the nr200 now. Cable management is really a bitch though on the nr200 with all the removable panels it's one of the easiest ITX cases to build in

well, you do have a point there for ppl going for SI for the convenience and for non tech savvy folks.

that aside. i built 3 nr200s builds in the past 12 months. not gonna lie, each built gets easier each time but, they are a span of 3 months between each build. I'm not sure why it's hard to build in a nr200, unless different use case for different ppl that require more than just EPS, 24pin & PCIE

i was referring to itx builds in general, not just nr200 style itx builds. unlike matx or atx, u have to pay more attention to size restrictions (gpu length and psu form factor for eg) and cable management to get everything to fit. first time builders will definitely have a hard time dealing with compact sandwich style cases: for eg, how and where the cables are routed can make or break the build.

anyway, buying the nr200 in places where either the tecware fusion/sama quzao or montech sky one mini/sktc s200 is available is quite silly, given that they generally retail for less. u are basically paying more for a case that is barely any smaller and compatible with fewer parts, on top of the premium u already pay for itx mobos and sfx psus.

I'm going to build my first sff build soon. Cpu, motherboard, ram and nvme arrive liao. Now waiting for 5.8l case, PSU, fan from taobao. Not sure gg to face any problem, but I enjoy building....

 

[danexsis]

totally agree on your take for itx builds in general.

well, given the quote by mansa was almost at 2k, and the opinion of my part list if, bought locally probably not even close to that quote. and we are being petty about a difference of $30ish difference in chassis.

It's so overpriced.

I assume your budget is around 2k? Try something like that, prices quoted from Dynacore.

CPU + MB	MSI B660M-A + 12400F	$470	Good combo for the price. B660M-A allows upgrading to 12700 in the future if required.
GPU	Asus Tuf Gaming RTX3060Ti O8GB V2 OC Triple Fan	$765	Good Triple Fan option
CPU COOLER	Scythe Fuma 2 Rev.B	$83	A great cooler that can also cool a 12700F. A no-brainer.
PSU	Superflower Leadex III 750W	$145	Good quality PSU has a proven track record in durability and provides room for future upgrades.
SSD	Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB	$187	Good quality SSD with a proven track record in durability
RAM	16 GB G.SKILL RIPJAWS V 3600Mhz CL18	$98	Won't go wrong
CASE	Cooler Master MasterBox NR400 Mesh TG (get non-odd variant)	$85	A good all-rounder for the price. Add 2 more fans in front ($45) for additional airflow.

Total: $1878
