https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xc3LXP

This is a build created for people who like small form factor PC’s and plenty of power in an inexpensive package. It sports a Ryzen 5 2600, which comes with a stock cooler and can easily be overclocked to 4.0 GHz. Its motherboard has onboard WiFi and Ethernet giving it a good amount of versatility. It has 16 GB of dual channel memory clocked at 3000 MHz, which is more than enough by today’s standards. It also has a 500 GB SSD that can load files and games extremely quickly. For the graphics card, the Radeon RX 580 8 GB from Sapphire can play most games on the highest settings on 1080p on the most demanding games and can even scale up to 1440p on less demanding games. The components are stored in the Cooler Master Elite 130, a mini-ITX case that’s only the size of 4 tissue boxes stacked in a cube shape. It’s all powered by a Gold-Rated 650W power supply from EVGA that’s very power efficient due to its gold rating and can withstand multiple upgrades in the future. The current system’s power draw, according to PCPartPicker, is just over 300W so a 650W power supply can keep up with new parts that consume more power if you feel the need to upgrade.
