Yellow, big brain PC users 🖖

I'm traveling and moving a lot for quite a while now, and getting a rig was never part of my plan

But recently I realized I can get a mini-itx and bring it anywhere I want

Looking for your advices and build configurations

I want it to be like top, but without it just be overpriced. I don't care for LEDs, as small and as powerful as possible, high-mini-atx-end 😄

Thank yowoou

you can get a really small RTX 3060 or even 3060ti, plus bequiet makes a low profile cooler that sits flat like the stock amd one. i would probably go with a Ryzen 5000-something (whatever you want to spend) in a b550 motherboard or something similar. and of course m.2 drives. don't even think about SATA.

It took me like last 8 hours yo research this stuff

I found out that 4070 is a little bit too long for many small builds

I started researching into 4060, but they are still pretty big and as I understand don't really worth the money, as 3060 would be even better

Now I found ASUS Phoenix GeForce RTX 3060, which is like 12gb, one fan, 177mm

Ah, and I found one around me for $200, compared to $600 for dual 4070 (I'm currently living in a not really developed country, that's why odd prices)

A lot of thinking, a lot of thinking 🤪
