#Fractal #intelgaming #asuspcdiy – Introducing my latest build featuring the Fractal Design Define 7 Nano combined with the ARC A770 & Intel i5 13600KF for the ultimate Intel powered small form factor gaming PC without damaging your wallet (too much!)

By definition Mini ITX builds are expensive. This isn’t purely due to a lower demand, but more so due to the fact that that the PCB’s on ITX motherboards are typically made up of more layers with a more intricate cabling/electronics circuit which costs a lot more to manufacture. With that noted, I really wanted to see what’s possible in 2023 for a well performing ITX build with a modest budget.

How much did it cost?! Around $1800 (at the time of writing) which for a PC cable of running high FPS in 1440p (and even 4K) that’s pretty impressive for sure!

It should also be clear at this point that I LOVE Fractal Design cases. The Define 7 Nano just oozes with quality throughout. Sure, there’s smaller ITX cases on the market, but for less than $80 Fractal have managed to maintain their high levels of quality whilst also keeping the cost in mind. The results – an exceptionally well performing small chassis with ample airflow and space for a full size ATX PSU and relatively long GPU’s (I’d advise to stick with 2 slot, maybe 2.5 at a push)

The Intel ARC A770 never fails to impress me either. I’ve had this card since the day of launch and it’s been fantastic to see Intel rolling out regular updates, making this GPU one of the best budget options with excellent performance to match. The design looks amazing too in my honest opinion!

Overall I couldn’t be happier with this build. The sound levels are low, footprint is small and the performance is high! What’s not to love? I’m not a huge fan of RGB either, so the minimal accents from the GPU and the RAM really add a touch of flavour as I hope you’ll agree! 😀

What a great time for a small form ITX build!

Special thanks to ASUS UK for the hookup and support with the ROG Strix Z790-I motherboard featured in this video.
