[PC Build Help] Is This Build Good for 1080p Gaming and Light Productivity? (Budget <$1800 CAD)
Posted by DeedleNic@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 2 comments
Hey everyone,
I’m looking for feedback on this mini-ITX build I’ve put together. My main goal is smooth 1080p gaming and light productivity tasks. I’m hoping to keep the total cost under $1800 CAD after taxes (13%), so that puts my max budget for the build itself around $1593 CAD before taxes. I’d love to know if this setup will work well for my needs or if there are any tweaks I should make for better value or performance.

Questions:
- Will this setup handle 1080p gaming and some light productivity tasks comfortably?
- Are there any parts you’d suggest swapping to stay within budget and improve performance?
- Is 850W overkill for this build, or should I stick with it for future-proofing?
Thanks for any advice!

Yes.
Looks good for the price, PSU is overkill though.
Yes, it's a fine purchase if you intend to upgrade.

build looks pretty solid, will do fantastic for 1080p and productivity
850w is a little overkill for what you’re running right now but leaves plenty of space for upgrading cpu/gpu down the line which is a very reasonable decision
