If you've been tempted by the 3rd Generation of Ryzen CPUs but wish for a smaller form factor, the Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro WiFi might be the very ticket.

I'm so tempted to build a mITX setup which would use NH-D15 as a cooler but be otherwise as compact as possible with only m.2 storage, etc. But I can't justify it as with my usage (mainly gaming) swapping out 8700k for either Ryzen 3 or upcoming LGA2066 wouldn't be anything but a sidegrade. And just swapping motherboards sounds a tad silly.

This sounds basically like my setup, having an 3700X, only one 2TB M.2 drive, mITX board that will go inside either the Dan Case A4 SFX or the NCASE M1

I do love a good ITX build.
This one looks pretty good considering the footprint that chipset cooler and the AM4 bracket has.
Glad to see that ports are being moved to the correct side of the ram slots. Done a few ITX builds where there have been fan headers or SATA ports on the other side of the ram slots and it just makes the whole thing look messy.
