Is this more expensive model worth the extra cost?


Recommended Posts

Yes it's worth $550 more than the other version.

 

But none are really worth the asking price relative to everything else out there. You are definitely paying a lot for the small-ish form factor, but you could also build something yourself that's better and smaller and cheaper.

Good build. I’d save $30 and grab this 4070 Ti vs the ASUS, unless you really like the ProArt :)

I’d also consider spending the extra $10 on a Corsair RM850x for some extra headroom for future upgrades.

 

EDIT: oh, just noticed it was mini-ITX :p - double check dimensions for what I noted

The ProArt is one of the smaller 4070 Tis, which is why I picked it. I have that case and it's amazing, but things can get tight really quick and I currently have a much smaller GPU in it than the 4070. I actually have your old EVGA 2080 Ti in it. Also why I chose not to squeeze a 240 AIO. You could technically fit one and a big GPU, but be prepared to spend a lot of time running cables and water loops just right. Heck, might even have to order some custom cables anyway, especially for the 12VHPWR connector.
