    I did something similar myself a few months ago. I bought an optiplex 7060 with an i5 8500, 16gb ram, and 512gb nvme and added a yeston rtx 3050 and an extra 512gb ssd. I did spend about 400-ish bucks on it but I’m happy with the performance and how compact it is.

    If I remember correctly ETA PRIME video did use a low profile arc a380 but he swapped the cooler to an arc a310 cooler. It did get hot but not terribly hot.

    I found an SFF which had the power supply on top, which gave room for the card on bottom. Just keep looking - use broader search prompt

    RAM prices are never going to be truly affordable again and trying to find a good deal online is so tough. I spent months doing researcg and idk I got tired of it and got a prebuilt from TerraCore PCs. It&apos;s actually pretty good for under $1300 with an i5-14600, RX 9060, and 32GB RAM. I also like that they plant a tree for every PC they build
