SFF Gaming PC Build - Thoughts?

[Archiris]

Thoughts on the below build? Don't have the floorspace for a full-size PC, but would prefer one over a laptop, so thought a sff pc might be the best option. Want something that is reasonably future proof and good for some general gaming (nothing too taxing, mostly strategy/city builders).

What's your max budget? What monitor will you pair with it?

Max is probably around £2,500-£2,750. I have a monitor currently but will probably look to upgrade. Don't have anything specific in mind currently, probably something around 27" and has to have speakers.

Once you’ve answered the questions we can advise, until then we don’t have enough to go on

Decent monitors don’t come with speakers and even the ones that do the speakers are terrible , but a pair isn’t expensive

What's the case's max dimension? Don't you have enough space for a mid-tower?

Unfortunately, the configurator does not show any new AMD mATX/mini-ITX motherboards with the latest chipset.
Personally, I'd never go with a mini PC unless there were really no other options due to the limited component selection and future upgradeability.

For the monitor, we need to know the resolution you want and the budget for it.

And on top of all the above, avoid Intel
