  • description: In this video, I build a 7.3L SFF PC using a Micro ATX motherboard, an i5-12400, and an RTX 4060 Low Profile. Is building a custom 7.3L Micro ATX PC better than just upgrading an office PC? Let's find out!

We put this $930 low-profile setup through synthetic thermal stress testing using CPU-Z and FurMark before jumping into real-world 1080p gaming benchmarks across heavy titles like Doom: The Dark Ages, Battlefield 6, Resident Evil Requiem, and Cyberpunk 2077. From CPU and GPU temperatures to PCIe Gen 4 x8 and Resizable BAR performance, we evaluate whether building a custom Micro ATX mini PC from scratch offers enough performance, thermals, and features to justify the higher cost over a simple office PC graphics card upgrade.
