Compact Mini-ITX build
For people who want 1440p-class performance in a case under 15 litres. Every part here is chosen by dimensions rather than price. This is the hardest build to assemble and not one I would recommend as a first attempt.

Parts list
| Component | Part | Why this part |
|---|---|---|
| Processor | AMD Ryzen 7 9700X | Low power draw with good performance — critical when cooling is constrained by dimensions. |
| Motherboard | ASRock B650I Lightning WiFi | Mini-ITX on AM5 with solid power delivery. The choice in this form factor is narrow, so the board is picked first. |
| Memory | G.Skill Flare X5 32 GB (2×16) DDR5-6000 CL30 | Low-profile modules without tall heat spreaders — in ITX every millimetre above the board is spoken for. |
| Graphics card | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB (wersja 2-slot) | A two-slot version is mandatory here — check the card length against the case specification before buying. |
| Storage | Samsung 990 EVO Plus 2 TB NVMe | There is no room for 3.5-inch drives in this case — all storage is NVMe. |
| Power supply | Corsair SF750 750 W SFX 80+ Platinum | The SFX form factor is mandatory here. SFX units cost more than ATX of the same wattage. |
| Case | Fractal Design Terra | Under 11 litres of volume while still fitting a two-slot graphics card. |
| CPU cooler | Noctua NH-L12S | A low-profile cooler designed for cases where a tower simply will not fit. |
Socket: AM5
The default choice for a new AMD build. Pick it if you are starting fresh and want an upgrade path.

„ITX is great, but it is not a first build. Cables have to go in a specific order or the case simply will not close. I took mine apart and rebuilt it three times.”
