8600G

AMD Ryzen 5 8600G - Ryzen 5 8000-G Series 6-Core 4.3 GHz Socket AM5 65W AMD Radeon 760M Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100001237BOX
AMD Ryzen 5 8600G - Ryzen 5 8000-G Series 6-Core 4.3 GHz Socket AM5 65W AMD Radeon 760M Desktop CPU Processor - 100-100001237BOX

Pros: -Able to play everything I've thrown at it for 1080p gaming. -Haven't had any issues with overheating or throttling - AMD drivers have been good and the software works well for turning on FSR and different profiles for each game.

Cons: -Definitely not for 2k or really high-end gaming -The heat sink and fan can get a little loud under full load, so you might consider another cooler.

Overall Review: This is a great processor that lets you play most games on high or medium at 1080p. Really impressed with how well this works, especially with FSR, getting 60 FPS in most games I play.

Asus MATX Case

ASUS AP201 Type-C Airflow-focused Micro-ATX,Mini-ITX Computer Case, Support 360/280 Liquid Cooling - Black
ASUS AP201 Type-C Airflow-focused Micro-ATX,Mini-ITX Computer Case, Support 360/280 Liquid Cooling - Black

Pros: -Really well put together and sturdy -Good cable management -USB-C on the front -Great airflow with the mesh case

Cons: -Only issue I had is that the area around where your motherboard sits goes up a little bit and made it difficult to install my USB Header on the bottom right of my board since it's at a 90 degree angle instead of straight up. Not a major con, just something to be conscious of when selecting a board with this case. My solution was buying a header extension cable that was able to bend into the tight corner.

Overall Review: Great case that I'm really happy with, just be careful with the headers on the board you get with this case.
