ITX

[Crizzy G]

I'm thinking of purchasing a ITX build. As I've stated before I work away from home during the week so this build will stay with me whilst the other at home (or vice versa).
Don't need this build to do much but compently game.

I've selected a 2070 super but could I get away with using a 1660 ti?

Could I drop the ram to 8gb?

Not decided in my mind if this will be my weekend rig or home rig yet so I'll either be gaming on 144mhz 1440p ultra wide monitor or a 4k 60hz tv(just for now).

Any suggestions welcome.

Also I'm aware of new cpu and gpu which will be both on my other order. I just need this simply for gaming at a budget with options to upgrade if I decided to do so.

Thanks for the response. I hear what your saying about 3070 but I prefer not to wait as the way things are looking I may not see my other build till after Xmas.
That being said if the next best option is a 2070 super then ill look on the 2nd hand market for one rather than brand new.

My plan is when its time for me to upgrade new parts for my main rig to gift them to my pure gaming rig so it doesn't fall to far behind tech wise and I'm not having to shell out twice.

I hope that makes sense?
