Is My PC Upgrade Plan from mATX to ITX Solid?
Asked by
GamerInTheWild77
I'm switching from a larger mATX case to a more compact ITX case, which means I need to get a new motherboard, GPU, PSU, and cooler since my current components won't fit. I want to know if the choices I've made for the new parts are good. The most demanding game I play is Oblivion Remaster, but I don't intend to max it out. Right now, I'm using a 4060 8GB and I game at 1080p/60fps because I'm not planning on buying a new monitor anytime soon. Here's a breakdown of my planned components:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600 - Purchased
- CPU Cooler: ID-COOLING IS-55 - £39.99
- Motherboard: ASRock B650I Lightning Wifi Mini ITX - £154.47
- Memory: Kingston FURY Beast 32 GB DDR5 - Purchased
- Storage: Western Digital Black SN770 1 TB NVME - Purchased
- Video Card: PowerColor Reaper RX 9060 XT 16 GB - £344.99
- Power Supply: Corsair SF750 750 W - £139.94
- Case: Metalfish T40 - Purchased
Total Cost: £677.81. What do you think?

Looks good! You've got a solid list of parts there for your ITX build. The combo of the Ryzen 5 7600 and RX 9060 XT should run everything smoothly, especially at 1080p. Just make sure you’re getting good airflow in that smaller case to keep everything cool.

Just a heads-up, the RX 9060 XT is quite a jump from the 4060, being around 33% faster. But if you’re sticking to 1080p/60fps, consider whether that extra power is really necessary. If you're not planning on maxing out settings, it might be worth saving some money here.

If it were me, I’d suggest switching to a GPU like the 4070 Super. You might even want to invest in a 1440p monitor instead of staying at 1080p. And for cooling, maybe consider switching to a Noctua cooler for better performance. If you're happy with 1080p, though, your current setup looks fine! It's really about what you prefer.
