Hello guys,
I need your help to build a PC that will serve me for the next 5+ years.
I know the PC assembly process, the components, their roles and importance, but I know all that to some extent in practice and a little less in theory (especially when it comes to cooling and aesthetics). For this reason, I would appreciate your experiences, opinions, suggestions and the like. I would be very grateful if someone could take the time to help me.
This is the PC Part Picker List.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
Best regards,
Aleksandar

- I mostly use the PC for work. I am a Graphic Designer and the programs I use the most are Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Figma, Webflow, etc. I often have 10+ tabs opened in Chrome with one or two of the Graphic Design programs, so I would like to have 32GB of RAM so that I don't have problems with multitasking.
- I've had a bigger case before, so I'd like a Mini ITX this time around. I like that it doesn't take up too much space and is easily portable when needed.
- It is important for me to have a good Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection because with the previous build the cables drove me crazy. I also have a laptop, so it is much easier for me to switch from one machine to another if all the devices are wireless (mouse, keyboard, headphones, etc.).
- I have an external hard drive that I often transfer from one device to another, so it is important to me that the motherboard and the case have a front USB-C port.
- Since I am a designer, aesthetics are important to me. I like minimalism, I'm not a big fan of RGB, but I wouldn't want my case to be completely dark either.
- I occasionally play CS:GO, so I'd like it to be fluid (300+ FPS).
This is the PC Part Picker List.
- I decided to build the machine around an Intel i5-12400F. After watching YouTube videos and suggestions on various sites, I concluded that this is the best budget option that will do the job properly.
- I chose the ASUS ROG Strix B660-I Gaming WiFi motherboard because it fits the ITX build and has USB-C ports on the front and back. Since I plan to use this computer for more than 5 years, I've decided that I'm in favor of a board that supports DDDR5 memory, but I'm not sure it's necessary.
- For memory, I chose Kingston Fury 32GB DDR5 5600MHz CL36. I'm not sure if that's too much. Maybe I should go with the DDDR4 one or stay on DDDR5 but with lower speed or something.
- SSD Samsung 1TB 980 Pro w/ Heatsink 4.0 NVMe™. For this one I'm pretty sure it's a good choice.
- I noticed that the Fighter AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 8GB GDDR6 is a good recommendation, so I put it in my build.
- For cooling there is Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler as a popular solution, and Thermaltake Toughpower SFX 600W Gold 600 W 80+ Gold as the first one I came across that matches the rest of the components.
- The case is Jonsbo V8 Mini ITX Desktop Case because it is the closest to my taste among the options on PC Part Picker. I like something like HYTE Revolt 3, Sparrow MQ5, Jonsbo Bo 100, IQUNIX ZX-1, Lian Li Q58, etc.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
Best regards,
Aleksandar
