My PC isn’t anything special. I was cheap about the case (if i had my way though i wanted to put it in a old Beige PC case). Specwise it’s a Ryzen 7 3700x, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a Radeon RX 7600 XT. It’s enough to run most modern games on Medium without breaking the bank.
I think in total it cost me around 900$? I remember i got the CPU really cheap (one of the pins were bent and i had to straighten it out) and the GPU i got a good deal on too.

Nice, there’s something so appealing about older cases. I wonder how difficult it’d be to fit modern hardware in one though. I want to build myself a decent budget PC one day, currently I’ve got an i7 4790k and gtx 980ti so very old! I don’t do much modern gaming though so im not in need of an urgent upgrade. I’ve also got a small form factor pc in my living room for emulation. It’s got a ryzen 5 pro 2400ge in it and I’m surprised how much it can actually run. Managed to get some switch games running on it🫨

My guess is the issue with the older case would be more so thermals. With the size of modern GPUs I wouldn’t be surprised if I ran into some issues though.
SFF computers are crazy. I had a HP Compaq for my first “gaming PC” (4 GB of RAM and a 32 bit CPU in 2016). As expected it struggled to run most things. Still, for its age and tiny ass size it did really well with things I wouldn’t expect it too

Yeah good point, would be pretty cramped in there. Saying that, sffs have basically no ventilation and they seem to manage 😅 if I had the money I would be attempting so many PC builds just for the fun of it.
