I’m looking to make a “media console” type build that will live under my tv. Main purpose will be playing games at 1080p@60fps

I had a build with a Ryzen 2600 and r9 390 in a Fractal Node 202 but it could get really loud. What’s the best way to make a quiet gaming build? Would a higher end GPU that is under volted be best? Or just a mid range GPU at stock settings?

    Depending on what games you’ll play, a 5700G can do what you need. It’s got an iGPU that kicks ass. It’ll run most games great but don’t expect it to run smoothly on RDR2 or something.

    You can put it in an ASROCK Deskmini X300W for some built in power, mobo, and WiFi/BT. All you need is RAM and a SSD.

      Thanks for the idea, I haven’t really considered the APU stuff. I’ll find some benchmarks
