can someone recommend me the thinnest build they can come up with for 1.5k$ CAD.
I was something particularly small width wise (like less that 5 inches)
Ok here is my proposal for you
https://secure.newegg.com/Wishlist/SharedWishlistDetail?ID=AcK0dRtpRts%3dFeatures:
Height 12.75" Width 3.9"(!!!) Depth 17"
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
GTX 1050 Ti
2x8GB RAM
1TB SSD
~$200 CAD under your budget (converted directly from USD, prices could be different on the .ca store)(windows license also not considered)
Notes:
This was a challenge to put together, such a slim form factor makes for a number of difficulties. First off, the PSU had to be TFX form factor, which is really small and doesn't have a lot of buying options. The case in this build comes with a TFX power supply, but you'll have to uninstall it and replace it with the one in the part list because it would be 150W short of the power requirements. Additionally, the TFX power supply in this list is 400W which is basically the highest wattage you'll ever find in that form factor. This is a pretty limiting factor in terms of what parts you can buy, most midrange builds desire at least 500W. The GTX 1050 Ti is the most powerful graphics card I could find that was available in the low-profile form factor needed to fit in this case. This build will probably have a lot of fan noise too. The only places this build has room for improvement is in more memory (I just thought 16GB would be plenty), and you can add a DVD or Blu-Ray drive too if you want. Nothing else in the build can really be improved due to the above constraints.
This was a fun challenge but it's honestly not really worth the money if you ask me. I'd just find a way to get a slightly larger space for the computer so you could make better use of the build money.
