[QUOTE="plat, post: 960647, member: 74969"] My suggestion: the Lian Li case, though excellent, is a little over-kill with cheaper models capable of the job also. If you can dial back the case to another Lian Li like this one or an even cheaper but still decent case like a Fractal Design Refine model): [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16811112583?Description=lian%20li%20cases[/URL] this would free up some cash to invest in perhaps the rtx 3060 or even the 3060 Ti. The ASUS Tuf 3060Ti is about 460 USD at Best Buy as an example, and double or more the cost at Amazon--IF it is in stock. But this can be had if you're willing to compromise on the case and ditch two of the memory sticks (Neo Forza--this is prob. the easiest to upgrade later anyway). Edit: you want a micro build? There are still ITX cases that are cheaper. Do you need so many storage devices right away? Again, if you can omit one or two and add them later, it will free up money for the graphics. Your power supply selection is very good and should handle the rtx 3xxx easily. I didn't check your vendor for any of this, by the way. But it should carry similar models. [/QUOTE]
