Hey everyone! I'm excited about the idea of upgrading my current PC into a Small Form Factor (SFFPC) for living room gaming. I want to use Bazzite instead of Windows, and although I mostly play indie games and some older titles, I want the flexibility to play more demanding AAA games without worrying about specs. Most of my current parts are aging and too big for the new format I'm aiming for, so I'm looking to invest in new components while keeping my 32GB DDR4 RAM. I live in France, and my budget is around €1500, but I'd love to keep it closer to €1000 if possible.
Here's a quick rundown of my current setup and the new parts I'm considering (which I found on PCPartPicker):
- Current CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
- Proposed CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
- Current GPU: ZOTAC Gaming RTX 2060 SUPER
- Proposed GPU: Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9060 XT
Check out this [PCPartPicker list](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FphBPf). Any advice on the selection or suggestions for fitting everything in an SFF case would be great!

I’d recommend updating your BIOS and maybe consider going for a 5800X and a 9070XT instead. You could hold off on the motherboard and CPU upgrade until the next generation comes out. It'll let you keep your current setup running while giving you more options later!
I see what you mean about the size, but is waiting for the next gen really a bad idea? The motherboard replacement might be worth it in the long run especially if you're sticking with DDR4. Just curious about your thoughts!
