I was mildly disappointed with Vavles pricing, so I told my nephew i'd make him a Bazzite system. He plays simple games.

in 2020, just before covid started, I mounted a pc with the same case. I know nothing about mounting PC so I used the guides from https://techbuyersguru.com/. It still works perfectly and I'm not in a hurry ot change it.

Here are the specs:

  • Processor (CPU): AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (8 Cores / 16 Threads, 36MB Cache)
  • CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-L12S Low-Profile CPU Cooler (70mm height)
  • Case Fan: Scythe Kaze Flex 120mm PWM Fan (300 – 1200 RPM)
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 I Aorus Pro Wi-Fi (Mini-ITX)
  • Memory (RAM): 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 3200MHz CL16
  • Graphics Card (GPU): Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Mini (8GB GDDR6)
  • Storage (SSD): 2TB Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD
  • Power Supply (PSU): SilverStone SX500-G 500W (SFX Form Factor, 80 Plus Gold, Fully Modular)
  • Case: SilverStone Sugo SG13 (SST-SG13B, Black)

Still using a 2070 here, I am kinda curious when an iGPU will get close in performance. Probably just going to wait until the xx50 or AMD equivalent is a decent improvement and then upgrade to that for the energy efficiency gains along with enjoying any performance gains that I see from it.
