From ATX to ITX: a quick check
From ATX to ITX: a quick check
Hey, I'm getting my first mini-itx computer set up in the NCASE M2 that I got today. Could you tell me which parts to pick? I already have a 1440p monitor and a super RTX 4070. I've already sold the stuff from my old computer. Here is what I bought: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hwCwq Thanks for helping out!
I am looking at a list of parts to build a PC. First, the CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 with 3.6 GHz speed and 8 cores for $275 from Amazon. Next, I need a cooler called ID-COOLING FROZN A620 PRO SE that blows air at about 58 CFMs and costs $29.99 on Amazon. For the motherboard, ASRock A620I LIGHTNING WIFI Mini ITX fits my needs as an AM5 board with WiFi for $140.98 from Newegg. I also need some RAM; specifically, two sticks of 16 GB each making up a total of 32 GB in Patriot Viper Venom DDR5 memory running at 6000 speed and labeled CL30. This costs $84.99 on Newegg. For storage, I want an Acer Predator GM7000 that holds 2 TB of data using a fast M.2-2280 slot from PCIe 4.0. It is a solid state drive costing $140.99 on Amazon. Finally, the power supply will be the Corsair SF750 model which has a wattage rating of 750 and offers an 80+ Platinum certification for full modular airflow at about $179.99 from B&H. The whole setup comes to a total price of $851.94, and these prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts if they are available right now.

AMD Ryzen 7 7700 Review - Affordable Zen 4 Powerhouse
The AMD Ryzen 7 7700 is the most affordable eight-core processor from AMD that uses the new Zen 4 technology. If you pay around $330, you also get a good cooling fan included with RGB lighting effects. Our testing data shows that the regular version of this CPU without the X model (which means no extra cooling) performs almost exactly like the high-end X version. The full review details can be found at www.techpowerup.com and on their Predator storage page for the specific SSD model used in our test, which is a PCIe M-2 4 SSD from Predator Storage. You can also check out other parts links for ID-COOLING FROZN A620 PRO SE and AMD Ryzen specs here.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I wanted to know if the R9 7950X would be a good pick, mostly because I play a lot of football manager and it uses lots of CPU power when you run all leagues in full detail. Also, should I switch some parts from what I have already picked out just for this?
