What a buyer needs to know

~$180 for an 8L case + an AM5 mini-ITX board + a 500W PSU. The best deal in the catalog, and the hero build's chassis — but only with a specific short card attached. ⚠ THE 200mm GPU LIMIT IS A HARD WALL. Almost no current AMD card is under 200mm: the PowerColor Reaper 9060 XT is EXACTLY 200mm and is essentially your only option. The cheapest 16GB 9060 XT (ASRock Challenger, $448.99) is 249mm and DOES NOT FIT — in this case you are paying ~$100 for 49mm, and you cannot dodge it. ⚠ 65W CPU CEILING (ASRock's own rating). That rules out every 105W/120W chip — the 7600X, 7700X, 7800X3D and 9800X3D are all OUT OF SPEC here. And note a '65W' AM5 chip actually draws 88W PPT; budget 88W, not 65W. ⚠ IT SHIPS WITH NO WI-FI. The M.2 E-key slot is empty — budget a card (~$16.50) and antennas. ⚠ 54mm of cooler, not 47mm: the AXP90-X53 FULL BLACK fits with 1mm to spare and out-cools the 47mm copper for the same money.
