A full-fat gaming PC in the form factor of a console using a Mini-ITX board but doesn't skimp on the hardware. Features a 10th Gen Intel Core i7 CPU paired with 16GB of RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and an NVIDIA RTX 3060 12GB graphics card. Also comes with Wi-Fi 6 and USB-C, and the icing on the cake is an attractive price.
Are you a gamer who wants extreme gaming capability in a tiny package? Then the $1,500 High-End Mini-ITX Gaming PC Build is for you! This system takes up barely 1/3 the space of a typical gaming tower while packing in the same performance, making it perfect for gaming on the go or in your living room. In other words, despite its compact size, the $1,500 Mini-ITX Gaming PC Build is a totally legit high-end gaming PC, the equal of massive PCs that cost the same or more!
If you want to build a budget gaming PC, you're better off with a full-size ATX motherboard, as they are much cheaper, but a compact Mini-ITX case with an included PSU can save you a few pennies. Think about the lifespan of your components, though, as you'll have much less room to expand in the future. If you've got some cash to spend, though, consider liquid cooling to address any thermals issues that come with working with a smaller case.
We want to note that your choice of graphics card is far more critical with a Mini-ITX build. It's not just about length either, as cooling is a far greater concern when dealing with cramped interiors. Generally speaking, mini-ITX is one of the few times where using a GPU with a blower cooler is often the best decision. Unless you get a bigger mATX case with more airflow, you want your GPU to vent all that heat outside the case.
While a mini-ITX build takes a little more patience and experience to do well, the rewards are much higher. Having a small, clean build in an interestingly compact package makes you feel good. Mini-ITX rigs make it easier to take your platform to a LAN party or play PC games in the living room (if that's your thing).
A SFX, or Small Form Factor, PSU is not always required with a mini-ITX case. Many offer compatibility with standard ATX PSUs nowadays, which means you don't have to buy special parts. How they fit a full-size PSU in there with your other components, I don't know. It's all pretty incredible how these cases are designed.
That said, you may need to buy a SFX PSU for the smallest of mini-ITX cases. Especially the sort that don't offer space for a discrete GPU and must be fitted with a CPU with onboard graphics instead. In these cases, you'll want to find a SFX PSU that is safe and reliable, but don't worry, there are loads of those nowadays. Corsair, Silverstone, and be quiet! offer multiple SFX options.
The best mini-ITX PC case is about being able to build a powerful gaming PC into the sort of footprint normally given to a games console. It's a challenge for sure, and the need for more expensive micro motherboards can make such a build pricey, but it's oh-so satisfying once you have your mighty mini rig humming away on your desk.
The first thing you're probably asking yourself when you look at some of these cases is, "just how am I going to cram a GPU inside there?" While it is true you won't have enough GPU clearance for let's say, the Nvidia RTX 4090 (opens in new tab), there are plenty of GPUs out there that'll accommodate a small case. You just have to be more aware of the GPU and case dimensions than you would a mid to full-size tower before you add anything to your cart.There's something obscenely satisfying about cramming an entire gaming PC into a teeny chassis and watching it boot for the first time. And no, mini-ITX cases don't only fit mini versions of PC components, I've included options that work with micro-ATX motherboards, too, as well as full ATX power supplies.I've spent a serious chunk of time jamming components into a wealth of mini-ITX cases to test airflow, cable routing, and support for motherboards and radiators, among other things. You'll find my recommendations below. If you're more of a 'go big or go home' PC builder, check out our favorite full-tower PC (opens in new tab) and mid-tower PC (opens in new tab)cases.
I was a big fan of the original NZXT H1 mini-ITX chassis when it first came out. But then, mine never caught fire, which is a good thing because I've been using it as the basis for my office work machine ever since. My boss would not have been pleased if I'd burned down the PC Gamer offices because of a faulty PCIe riser cable.
Aside from that specific riser problem, the H1 was a fantastic package to build a wee peecee into. And so is this recently updated version, too. On the face of it, this H1 V2 looks identical and you'd be forgiven for thinking it was just a new release of the same case with an even more non-burn-y PCIe riser cable for your GPU. But NZXT has actually done a lot to improve the overall design, even though it does make for a more expensive, slightly larger and heavier mini-ITX case.
A note of warning, however, and that is the clearance between the radiator fan and the top of your memory isn't huge. It is another 1mm higher than the original, but with just 46mm as your maximum memory height some DIMMs are simply going to be too big. Our Corsair Dominator DDR5 (opens in new tab) sticks we've used in our Alder Lake test rig, and the mini-ITX B660, proved just too tall to close the case.
The NZXT H210i is essentially a tiny version of our favorite mid-tower, the H710i. Built to only support mini-ITX builds, the H210i still does a great job fitting a high-end system into a compact, minimalistic package. That does mean that it still looks like a mid-tower, but also that it will be able to take full size components when it comes to everything else.
Most mini-ITX chassis require you to look at small form factor parts, such as specific CPU coolers, or power supplies, and that can mean there's an added price premium on top. You may also need low profile memory to fit, too.
Thanks to NZXT's CAM-powered Smart Device V2, the H210i features intelligent digital fan control and offers plenty of room to expand the built-in RGB lighting with additional strips. With added support for liquid cooling and large graphics cards, the H210i is the perfect solution for those who want to make a small but powerful gaming PC.
It's also worth stating that the NZXT H210 is almost identical, except that you don't get the RGB strip and fan controller support. But given that makes the H210 a more reasonable $70 (opens in new tab) I think I'd happily forgo those extraneous luxuries if I was building my own mini-ITX gaming machine. And at that price this excellent chassis absolutely becomes the best budget mini-ITX case.
There is something supremely industrial about the almost utilitarian design of the mostly metal Hyte Revolt 3 mini-ITX PC case. It doubles down on the angular, cuboid aesthetic with every facet of the external design being unashamedly sharp. Well, apart from the rounded, pop-out headphone holders, that is. And even now I still don't know if I like this pared back approach or find it just, well, basic.

There aren't a lot of mini-ITX chassis that are actually, y'know, mini. But, while the Phanteks Evolv Shift XT might have a big ol' name, it's one of the smallest gaming chassis around that will take a full-size graphics card.
Where things feel the most tight with the Evolv Shift XT is around the motherboard. It's so tightly positioned to the edge of the chassis' frame that trying to get all the necessary cables plumbed in requires some serious digital gymnastics. Especially if your mini-ITX board also has those egregious heatsinks.
Your pick of power supply will affect your build and how pleasing it is in the final reckoning, too. I have a 750W SFX-L PSU which I've been using for mini-ITX builds, and while it does fit comfortably into the Shift XT, it does restrict your build. Phanteks does recommend you go for an SFX option instead.
In a world where mini-ITX gaming chassis aren't that mini, the Phanteks Evolv Shift XT can deliver a pint-sized gaming PC that can perform. But it's also a tiny chassis that can literally grow with your PC, and that's a definite bonus. Just try and remain calm during the build process and know that the fallibility of human memory will erase the inevitable pain.

The Corsair Crystal 280X is the largest of the cases on offer here, and that's because it will not only cater for mini-ITX motherboards, but can also support the larger Micro ATX specification, too. It's still an impressively compact case, but means you get a huge amount of support for full-size components.
The only real issue you will find, in these days of ever expanding graphics cards, is that there is actually less room for a big GPU in this chassis than in many of the smaller, dedicated mini-ITX cases. With a hard limit of 300mm in terms of graphics card length, despite the potential for it to expand over four slots, there will be many a GPU that simply won't fit inside the Corsair case.
If you want to build a budget gaming PC (opens in new tab), you're better off with a full-size ATX motherboard, as they are much cheaper, but a compact Mini-ITX case with an included PSU can save you a few pennies.
