ATTENTION: Graphics card prices are excessive by historical standards; therefore, consumers should delay or completely forgo any midrange to high end graphics card purchases. The gouging has two root causes: lack of market competition and shortage/"new normal" pricing during the mining hayday.
Want help? >State budget & CURRENCY >Post at least some attempt at a parts list >List your uses, e.g. Gaming, Video Editing, VM Work >For monitors, include purpose (e.g., photoediting, gaming) and graphics card pairing (if applicable)
CPUs based on current pricing: >Athlon 200GE - HTPC, web browsing >R3 2200G - Recommended minimum gaming >R5 2600/X - Good gaming CPU with great value >R5 3600 - Great gaming CPU >R7 2700 - Budget video editing >R9 3900X - Professional tasks
RAM: >Always choose at least a two stick kit; 2x 8GB is recommended >CPUs benefit from high speed RAM; 3200CL16 is ideal >AMD B and X chipsets and Intel Z chipsets support XMP
Graphics cards based on current pricing: >AAA or multiplatform games: Radeon card appropriate for your montior >PC centric games, VR games, or ray tracing: Nvidia card appropriate for your display >Used RX 570s can be had for a steal; inquire about warranty 1080p 16:9 >RX 570 8GB - good performance with great value >GTX 1660 - standard
General: >PLAN YOUR BUILD AROUND YOUR MONITOR IF GAMING >Don't bother buying a new monitor for gaming unless it's high refresh with adaptive sync >A 250GB or larger SSD is almost mandatory; consider m.2 form factor >Bottleneck checkers are worthless
I'm trying to put together a mini-ITX build that will work for mild gaming, decent rendering and heavy animating/photo editing. The GTX 1060 6GB is in my current build so that is what i'm working around, which limits my case to some level.
1. Not sure if I should go Intel or AMD for the CPU 2. Motherboards are either horrendous to pick on PCPartPicker or there aren't many options for me 3. I'm not sure if I will need a heatsink or another fan for it
General advice would be greatly appreciated. The graphics card is the only concrete piece to it all so far
Budget ideally would be ~$600 not including said graphics card

Anybody else having no post issues with a 3700x? Either CPU LED or DRAM LED red? Many of those had a working system for a few days and it just stopped working at some point.
Just on the gigabyte forum alone I saw like 4 people reporting this issue only today, plus various other reports from older days?
