My trusty PC of almost 7 years recently keep having bootloop attacks.
I m worried that it might die during this period so I am considering to change to a itx build and salvage whatever I can.

Possible to build a itx build for 600?
Don't need os dvdr ssd or maybe ram/gpu.
I prefer itx so I can put it on my table for easy access to ports and buttons.

Intel or amd also can.
Appreciate some inputs from the gurus ty

It depends on what you are using the computer for. My take is 600 bucks is going to be very tough to get you all the new parts, especially when you are looking at ITX. Basic stuffs that you need to change are, CPU, motherboard, RAM, casing (if it is not an ITX currently) and possibly a PSU (depends on the current PSU and the components you choose).

Personally, I will not recommend ITX because they tend to be too big for the desk, and too small to put below the desk. You need to measure and decide how much space can you spare on your desk before deciding on which ITX case to pick.

Ooh thx I went and do some research and indeed not only itx products more pricy but also less options available with alot morr obstacles in putting a proper functional itx build.

Is there by any chance small form factor micro atx builds to reco instead?

APU is still possible. Look for moneyface recommendation

Got mine,

InWin Chopin (include psu) 100 Lazada with coupon
A320 ITX Board - 130 - Amazon
8gb x2 = 100 - Amazon
500Gb M2 Transend 100 - Lazada with coupon
3200G - 120 - Lazada with coupon

Total ard 550

2200G Vega 8 build in similar performance to gtx 1030.
