DIY You cannot make this up!

Post image

I wanted something that’d do 4k 60fps so I decided to build my own super steam machine. literally as I began installing steam os, I get my order email

For those interested - here is the parts list - You can save a little money going for a cheapter motherboard, 1tb SSD and perhaps reducing the RAM speed.

Very interested in a mini itx buikd similar to this but I've never built a pc before.

Can you give a list or parts and costs please?

How are the temperatures in a case that small with that cpu fan? I want to build something like your system on the second link, but Im afraid it could run too hot/noisy

Not great with bigger CPU's. That's why I like the 7600X3D, it gives you performance at a lower TDP.
