I'm currently in the process of picking parts for my new Mini ITX Build. The Node 202 is a must have, I absolutely love the case and it's just something I've wanted to build in for a long time. I'm deciding between a Ryzen 7-1700 vs a I7-7700. The reason I'm looking at those two processors is they're both are ideal in terms of power for a small case like the Node 202, working off 65 watts, the lower heat is ideal. That being said, I'm torn between them, but I'm leaning to the i7-7700 b/c I don't see myself making use out of the 8 core processor, but I am heavily considering it still. Given Ryzen's first mini itx's boards were just announced, I feel now is the time to start looking. Thoughts, any input is welcome.
