Tiny Powerhouse

SilverStone SST-SX650-G 650 W SFX 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC (PF>0.9 at full load) PFC Power Supply

Pros: This thing is TINY. I mean small. The cables are very easy to work with and flexible. I installed this in a Phanteks Shift case and fits very nice and also runs very quite with all the power I need. Small but powerful. Perfect for a mini ITX. Cables are short made for small form factor build.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Yes I would recommend this for small ITX builds

Power to spare

AMD Ryzen 5 3rd Gen - RYZEN 5 3600X Matisse (Zen 2) 6-Core 3.8 GHz (4.4 GHz Max Boost) Socket AM4 95W 100-100000022BOX Desktop Processor

Pros: Power to spare This processor rocks fast as a bullet

Cons: None

Overall Review: Replaced my 2700 X which also rocks with this processor and I just love it

Asus is the best, Just forget the rest

Pros: Been a Asus fan for many many years. Their BIOS in my opinion is the best and easy to use. Build quality is awesome and I at least have never had a problem with Asus boards. OC features are great and so is fan control. Just love this mini ITX 570 board paired it with Ryzen 7 2700x, 16 gb G Skills Flare X 3200 memory. Also the 2 M.2 slots are very nice to have. This board is expensive but you get what you pay for and this one is worth it to me. And also I can upgrade to the 3 series ryzen when I am ready. Spend the extra and get the best

Cons: NONE AT ALL

Overall Review: Like I said, If you can afford it go for it.

Very nice case for the money

Pros: Tempered glass Good room for cable management Inexpensive

Cons: None for me

Overall Review: I bought this to build my PLEX Server and suits my needs very well. Room for 2 hdd and 1 ssd, put some rring fans up front and looks very good, full PSU fits well. For the price you cant beat it

Great Looking Case

Pros: I really like this case, built very nice, Tough to build in. Plan ahead on your build because you will be installing parts and uninstalling many times. But it is still worth it. Small AIO 120 cooler a must for CPU cooling and a sfx psu like the Silverstone sx 650 or 500. Also short Sata cables are nice to have on hand. I had no problems with the pci-e riser cable, nice quality.

Cons: Couple cons for me is the USB cable that connects to case USB is too long, also note there is no HDD LED or reset button which is ok with me. The 3.5in drive mounts with screws but I am going to change them out for thumb screw to make hd removal easier.

Overall Review: Recommend this case for sure. Also not true what the 1 review says, no dust filter-there is one on the bottom for the PSU and yes it does not come with RGB but can be added with PHANTEKS RGB STRIPS AND PHANTEKS RGB FAN FRAMES WHICH ARE AWESOME I MUST SAY AND THEY CONNECT TO THE TOP OF THE CASE AND CONTROLLED BY THE RGB BUTTON NOT THE MB. DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU WRITE A WRONG REVIEW. ONLY 1 COLOR AT A TIME BUT LIGHTS THE CASE SUPER NICE. ALSO HAS NO HD LED OR RESET BUTTON

Awesome Video Card

Pros: No matter how I try I cannot get this card to heat up. Stays super cool no matter what I throw at it. About 50 degrees C at full bore. Nice backplate and the lighting is very nice..Great Performance... 6 gb memory. Update installed in a Phanteks shift case with tight quarters and now it gets hotter, like in the 60 65c range. Still a awesome card.

Cons: Kinda spendy and going up all the time

Overall Review: Would recommend, nice card runs coooool
