A VR capable gaming PC with this as the starting point?

[Brad]

I have a Streacom FC5 chassis/case and want to turn it into a gaming PC. Is this even possible. It's one of these:

It has to take a micro atx or mini itx motherboard. If I have a micro atx I can only put one drive in there so I guess mini itx is preferred.

I'd need a riser card to put the PCI gfx card in. The CPU needs to by <= 65W TPU as it'll be passively cooled with heat pipes.

Is this even doable?

Cheers PC nerds.

What the rating of the power supply in that chassis? A decent VR capable graphics card will use a fair bit of juice.

So the PicoPSU is available with a maximum 160 watts model with a 200 watt peak. A decent graphics card will draw anywhere from 120 - 150 watts on its own.

Crap! I’ll have a look see what one I’ve got.

I see a ryzen 5 meets my 65w requirements.

Have a look at the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 OC 4G card. Gets all the power it needs from the PCI slot. That’s up to 75 watts.
