Share your buildNo-compromises small-form-factor: a 2-slot RX 9070 XT — which basically shouldn't exist — and a 65W Ryzen 5 7600X3D in a 10.4-litre Terra. The most machine that fits under a TV.
A 10.4-litre Fractal Terra built around the RX 9070 GRE — the standout value card of the catalog, in a genuinely 2-slot body. Room to breathe, a real SFX power supply, 32GB and 2TB.
The smallest, cheapest way in: an 8-litre ASRock DeskMeet barebones — case, board and a 500W PSU in one box — with the only current AMD card that fits its 200mm limit. The closest thing to a Steam Machine you can actually buy the parts for.
