Working on a Mini-ITX build for the first time, looking for advice on the build / part suggestions for the European market (my first time building in the EU, 4th PC build).
Budget: €2250 (preferably lower, open to buying some parts used / waiting for sales)
Current part mix: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/KwGW9K
Use: Primarily gaming, the ethos is I'm trying to get the Steam Machine that I really wanted with AM5 and RDNA4. Not trying to hit actual Steam Machine targets / budget. Will put Steam OS on it.
Fun other things: If people have suggestions on HDMI-CEC or getting a Steam Controller to turn on the machine, I'm all ears.
Open questions:
- Any suggestions on CPU / GPU mix to hit 4K 60 with minimal FSR?
- Any thoughts on keeping it quiet, since this will be next to my TV?
- Any tips on actually doing a Mini-ITX build?
You might be able to find a compromise in M-ATX form factor.
Smaller than normal ATX, but less of a price premium than ITX, easier to find ... spatially compatible higher end GPUs, and people do make more compact M-ATX cases.

EATX, ATX, MATX, ITX.
Now your taste in cases may be different than mine, and I've no idea what EU prices look like, but...
Asus Prime AP201
Jonsbo D30
ThermalTake Tower 300
... if you want to be a bit of a show off, haha.
