Hi sifus,

Any recommendations for space-saving PC for regular home & gaming usage?

I'm consider my option is either AIO PC or mini PC

[Budget] RM1k - RM3k (can consider to stretch my budget a bit)

[Purpose] PDPR for next year & for gaming occasinally

Thanks in advance!

What games though? Your budget won't be enough for anything decent really (especially with skyrocketing PC parts right now) sweat.gif

Also, I don't recommend AIO PCs due to limited upgrade paths icon_idea.gif

suggestions:

- microatx pc, can fit full size gpu and microatx mobo, full size psu, also many fans, good ventilation, upgradability very good..

- find any good SFF cpu, for eg dell optiplex 7010, im using one..can find one with i7..can put up to 32gb ddr3 ram, ssd, hdd and low profile gpu 1050 ti...drawbacks less choice on gpu and ventilation not so great..

other than that..no idea..maybe others have experience..

While this is a good option, do note that some older Optiplex machines may not support TPM 1.2/2.0, which means you cannot upgrade to Windows 11 officially tongue.gif
This can be an issue as Windows 10 will cease support in 4 years icon_idea.gif

Wouldn't bother with the 4700S as its basically a slower 4750G with non upgradeable RAM and limited I/O (the PCIe slot only runs at PCIe 2.0 x4, which is very slow and will limit the graphics card choice) sweat.gif

Probably better to stick with the 4650G/5600G over the 4700S, and you have much more flexibility rather than dealing with a 'faulty' PS5/Series X silicon tongue.gif

...also low quality PSU tongue.gif
