Can u reccomend an arc a580 for budget raytracing in 1080p? It’s as much as a 5700 now!

[@BananaDuq]

Any good DDR2 RAM recommendations?

[@grey4980]

Definitely enjoy channels presenting more itx build cases, especially ones with handles, i find that to be such a neat additional feature

[@mihael3712]

I love this review/build style of video. We absolutely need more of these.

[@ZachsTechTurf]

Love to hear it! Trying something a little new here.

[@mlthmp]

Best ITX case I've ever used is the Cooler Master Elite 130. Love it

[@weedsmokinator420]

That floating in space scene... I mean woooah, that ambience sounded so wide!

[@Johnfena]

Yess, The DeepCool CH160 looks so nice, I can't wait to use it for my first build.

[@ZachsTechTurf]

Would love a picture of it in the Discord server :)

[@DengueBurger]

There is the NR200/p, but I much prefer the square look of this + the handle versus the more rounded look of the NR200.

[@CVerse]

Good luck getting one if ur in the US now

[@ret1na]

loved to hear the detachable handle!

[@ZachsTechTurf]

Very appreciated!

[@Adrienne_Quelle]

Seeing my actual build's performance pieces (12600k, 3070) in an ITX build makes me definitely wanna keep them around once I upgrade down the line, for a "spare parts build" like this as you called it, and get them in a smaller case. Definitely keeping the GPU no matter what, it's an EVGA from their last series of GPUs. o7

[@Jwalker76]

About time some company made an affordable itx case. I mean this will sell well with little competition. My advice is to check out how much space you have with your CPU cooler before buying a GPU so you don't get burnt. Every time I see a streamer build a itx build they have to swap parts because something doesn't fit.

[@randomtrainboy]

Note: Use the Darkrock PX4 for cooling. It is much smaller and cheaper than the assassin. Also get the 12600kf to get a little more performance and it lowers the budget a lil.

[@armondo4446]

This is actually really cool. And being able to use an actual ATX PSU is huge... Pun not intended. Always lloking out for good SFF builds, so having an affordable option is good for the market

[@narutoandhinata130]

talking about gpu airflow, you can try to mount the 12v pwm blower type fan to suck the cold air from bottom case and then blow the gpu card directly to the rear side.

[@Guy_that_exists]

the sama im01 is a really good case if you don't want to pay extra for any components, it can fit a matx motherboard and an atx psu at the same time, the size is in between itx and matx

[@somewhatideal]

Someone put a portable monitor in place of the glass panel. It was amazing.

[@iamurage]

I have built with this same case. I fitted a MSI wifi Mortor B650m , Ryzen 7 8700G, No Graphics card required. 32GB of 5400ram,. 2t memory, Deep cool AG 400 cpu cooler, Sonic focus SPX 750 for power and 2 Nocturer case fans. Works so well. OS is Linux Mint cinnamon22. I had some challenge fitting the mb.

[@Rullino32]

You can try using a blower card since they work well in ITX builds, IDK if it'll perform better or worse, but hopefully this comment could be helpful, you could also try undervolting it for better temperatures, that's up to you on whether it's worth it or not.

[@thetravelingdad]

Thanks for bringing this into my attention! Never thought an m-ITX build is actually gonna be within my budget 😅

a 500usd ITX build guide would be incredible

[@RockDeer-Island]

Very cool case, deepcool just need to sell us option with mesh side panel too

[@NukaOrQuantum]

I'd say $600-$750 is considered the "Affordable" range. However, this is just a build to feature the centerpiece, which is the case of course!

[@jchansm]

ZTT posting long form content on a tuesday?? unheard of

[@ribeirinhu]

with the fans that way, it will enter from the front and get sucked in immediately from the top, i think the best is cpu cooler rear intake, top and front exaust

[@quinncamargo]

Cant wait for you to actually build something new out of that case. Wheres the aesthetic builds at??

[@redgopnik2227]

Idk how I feel about that top front fan being an exhaust but temps are fine so it shouldn't really matter

[@anonymousgamer19]

Zach, A big fan of your and will be forever. Please make a 500$ Performance over aesthetics it should be the best budget king that even Spudd Gaming and Elijah Labs can’t beat. Wish you all the best for this!😊

[@yanni-duff]

I don't know about this being the ideal layout, the intake fan is directly antagonized by the exhaust fan right on top of it. The ideal layout is a back to front configuration like in the NR200P with both the front fans set to exhaust. That way an additional intake fan near the cpu cooler makes a lot more sense especially if you make sure the additional fan also runs as a cpu cooler adjusting for greater intake if needed. Although somehow the temps are more than okay.

[@EffectualPoet]

Add a mesh side panel option and make it longer to support 320+mm graphics cards and I'll buy one.

[@Батзориг.Л]

Hello Zach, would you please make a video about what to do after you build a pc, and how to benchmark and test hardwares like ram and cpu, thank you big fan love your videos.

[@zephaniahoberry]

I bought a PC off of Mercari, It came with a ryzen 5 2600, a GTX 1050Ti, 1TB ssd, and 16 gigs of RAM. I got it for 250, what you think Zach?

[@BrunodeSouzaLino]

This is perhaps one of the few builds where the CPU cooler is larger than the graphics card.

[@incap3825]

Im new to pc building and really can’t wrap my head around the pricing after having watched several videos. I live in Sweden. After sourcing the same components (and substituted the components which wasn’t available at the one distributor I sourced the parts at with the cheapest alternatives) the cost ended up at 1,470 USD. Are pc parts really that much cheaper in the US? Seems crazy to me

[@incap3825]

AND I selected a RTX 4060ti, cheapest rtx gpu the retailer had in stock

[@shawner7340]

oh man, really want to build in this now. May need to update my htpc in this

[@w4hid]

a case supporting matx form factor would be great for me

[@Bjornerback23]

Okay so i built a pc back in 2023 with the following specs: 32gb 3600mhz ram ddr4 Ryzen 7 5800x Rx 6800 850w psu B550M motherboard for Smart Access Memory And my friend liked this pc and decided to buy the similar specs. So he got the same specs and that pc performs so much worse than mine, all his parts were brand new, everything works fine, tried benchmark programs he got better score than me but when it comes to gaming his pc just doesnt perform, we tried games like Rainbow six siege, Call of duty and Counterstrike, with all low settings and stretched 4:3 1440x1080 he got just over 200 fps, which is criminally bad. I play 1440p and get over 300 so its a huge difference. I tried to fix his pc by getting the newest BIOS, troubleshooted RAM, Newest chipsets for the parts, fresh windows, Optimized windows (powerplans, reduced amount af backgrounda apps) Didnt mention it but XMP is also enabled for both of us. I've tried all the things i am capable of that is why i am reaching out to the community for help. I tried taking out his gpu and placed it in my pc to see how it performs in 1440p and it performs well so the GPU is maybe out of the equation? What i am suspecting is maybe a poor CPU? Just because of the fact that the pc performed better in 1440p than 1080p. And from what i know 1440p puts less stress on cpu and more on the gpu. So please help me with this problem, what could it be? Faulty psu? Bad motherboard? What to do? What to replace?
