Hi all! I'm putting together a build using the Deepcool CH160 case and need some advice on parts. I'm planning to transfer some components from my current setup, which includes a 5060ti GPU (16GB), a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, and 32GB of Gskill Tridentz 3200MHz RAM. I also have a Crucial P3 1TB SSD.
Now, here are my concerns:
1. Will my MSI TOMAHAWK B450 motherboard and Corsair CX750 PSU fit inside the CH160? If not, I'm looking for budget-friendly alternatives since I prefer functionality over fancy features.
2. If the motherboard doesn't fit, would it be better to get a cheap AM4 motherboard or go ahead and upgrade to a 7500F with the MSI PRO A620M-E instead? I'm also in need of a budget-friendly cooler from Deepcool. Thanks in advance!

The MSI TOMAHAWK B450 is an ATX motherboard, and it won't fit in a mini-ITX case like the CH160. You'll need a mini-ITX motherboard instead. As for the PSU, the Corsair CX750 might also be too big, but check the manual for dimensions to be sure. I recommend looking at budget mini-ITX motherboards that support AM4 if you're sticking with your Ryzen CPU.
Thanks for confirming! It's hard to let go of my parts since they all work great, but it seems like a necessary step.
