Should You Build an ITX Gaming PC?

Lian li a3 is thest matx case know to man.

Love my meshy I’ll never go back to a mid tower makes no sense wasted space

Bait

Itx, despite its trendiness, is not the majority market share. Itx boards are usually made in smaller quantities and therefore cost more. They're also pretty hard to find new for older chipsets because supply simply runs out quicker.

what exceptions are those???

I’ve had 3 atx mid tower PCs, and 2 itx build on the same case meshy love it had a 3080fe and now a 4090fe in it with a full new build.. never going back to a huge pc might even go form d next

i don't know the term "itx tax". is that in any way different from the term "miniaturization" that we have been using for decades?

not agreed , becouse my itx is ddr5 and its 1time cheaper than my ddr4 atx build.

I should have bought an ITX build. My case and motherboard are INSANELY big, even for a Micro-ATX build. 😿

One of the main problems for me when choosing ITX is that the boards I've seen only have to memory module slots. So, instead of adding more memory I have to replace the memory which is more costly.

Impressive cases:
- Cooler Master NCORE 100 MAX ITX w/liquid cooling
- JONSBO T6 Black ITX w/ solid wood panel

Bro. I want to know the exceptions pls 🙏.

Is it better for office work ? Like managing accounts and stuff ?

these used to be on the rage 10 years ago. you could shove a 1080ti in a case the size of an xbone. and even still have an atx psu modular was nonnegotiable. its possible without but difficult. you'd be crazy to try.

I uhhh... Built an itx for my first build 😂
It's not cheap, its not easy to build, it's not easy to upgrade, parts are restricted by its dimension, but it looks cool and doesn't take much space and I'm happy with it

The Jonsbo C2 case is the smallest mATX case I know (12 Liters) that also takes ATX PSUs. Its old, harder to come by, meh quality but allows affordable hardware at an ITX size.

ITX is super cool? But I thought thermals was the usual issue 😂

I didn’t know tiny pc existed and I saw this exact case and had to build one and it’s been my favorite. Tiny pc scratches the tism for me

can a RTX 4060 and core I5 11400f run games at 1080p ultra?

Let’s just say I was building a prototype for a game console that has a custom Linux distro and the specs were really low would I be better off focusing on price for performance for resell value or would I be better focusing on form factor

Nonsense, designing a usable itx case is waayyy more complicated then designing a standart atx case, the argument that itx case has less materials is like saying big cars should cost more

3D print?

My new build is mATX, mostly due to the budget, but I'm definitely going ITX one day. I care about portability but still want a desktop, and despite the name mATX is still massive. ITX is something I wouldn't mind carrying around and it just looks better, too bad about the price.

Mini itx with 7500f and a $25 case from aliexpress. Maybe new b570 or used 1080ti

I wan to build an itx pc, is there anything I should know?

HE DIDNT MENTION COOLING AAAAhHhHhH

I would rather buy a minisforum mini pc, with thunderbolt port to plug in GPU. Vesa mount the pc, mount the GPU to the wall on a floating shelf.

heat.

I'm building an ITX wifi router / extender with wifi 6 and antennas

itx has its itx tax - itx user 😢

After my first mini ITX build, its hard to go bigger. The extra desk space and ability to move my PC from office to living room, more than makes up for the upcharge.

There is kind of a tipping point, because usually your never putting in rgb and crazy fans, also you have more flexibility in location

I just rebuilt my prebuilt with an ITX motherboard, and that and the pretty cheap case were the only things I had to buy because the Jonsbo C6-ITX supports an ATX power supply. It was really hard to build in though; I had to remove the fans and power supply 3+ times each just to fix cable management issues.

The 3¢ sale on the itx case is crazy

The ITX tax is basically paying more money for the portability and aesthetic of your build.

Itx builds are more of a fun projects for enthusiasts, For an average pc user it's just a waste of money.
If you're asking a question "Do I need an itx build?" - you don't.

😂built my itx in the pandemic I paid itx tax and hike the price tax

What gpu do you suggest for 1700 dollars
Pc need 16 gb vram and a cpu suggestion with it love from India

Is an Intel CPU and an AMD GPU a bad combination?

ITX is better for entertainment center living room TV set ups where space matters more than raw performance basically building a console killer or a gaming media streaming PC also great for setting up a MAME home arcade system.

i perfer running an mini itx in a enthoo pro 2 (beats the whole purpose”

When you buy an itx you are paying more for less.

Tax also includes temps and air flow (there' are also exceptions)

No

Im not looking to maximize price/perf, i want a small PC and im willing to pay the tax for it 🤷

What gaming pc can I get for 120

ATX or mATX

itx isn't always "tiny". A mate has an itx case that is 27ltr with support for 4x fans while my mATX is 20ltr and supports 5x fans.

i feel like itx is just not worth the money increase compared to the reduction in size from matx. until it hits the mini pc size i personally find it hard to feel impressed. some great sff matx cases out there. also itx would be more appealing if they did something cool with it. feel like after 2017 every single case that comes out are just black or white rectangular prisms. instead of a big white box now i can have a slightly smaller white box... just doesnt seem appealing to me

this is not true anymore the same case in the video is now 69 dollar

Me about to upgrade GPU only to realize my motherboard is mATX and i have a network card
