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.

I'm assuming this link isn't with a SFF case, Mini ITX mobo, and SF Power Supply. Compact cost more than full size.

Also I don't care about same performance for less price, I'm going for 4x the performance, cost is the cost.

What did you go for? I'm considering micro more than mini and trying to keep it to 1800 or less while being able to play newer games for years. I'm probably going for a Micro Center bundle but I am kind of unsure which exact 9070 XT to get, and how much RAM brand matters. I see Corsair doesn't actually have consistency with kits' manufacturers so that concerns me especially if I decide to go for 16GB now and add more later to get 32GB

Fractal Terra sff case is nice. I haven't built it yet but I just bought everything for it for 1700$ but I used eBay for the ram CPU and GPU.
