 ### MadVR upscaling all-in-one player (14L)
 
-This is a build with a low profile dGPU for MadVR upscaling that's going to provide better visual quality than the iGPU on a CPU. Other features include 4k@60 playback, 4k netflix/YT, HDR, and medium 1080p gaming.
+This is a build with a dGPU for MadVR upscaling/tonemapping that's going to provide better visual quality than the iGPU on a CPU. Other features include 4k@60 playback, 4k netflix/YT, HDR, and medium 1080p gaming.
 
-The Nvidia GTX 1650 chosen is the most powerful, reasonably-priced, low profile GPU you will find, with the AMD RX 6400 also capable and a little cheaper.  
+The Nvidia GTX 1660 chosen is the most powerful, reasonably-priced, GPU you will find, with the GTX 1060 6GB also capable and a little cheaper.  
 
-We don't go beyond an entry-level GPU here for MadVR upscaling because we feel you start to get into diminishing returns on visual quality, while incurring more power usage and heat.  
+We don't go beyond a mid-level GPU here for MadVR because we feel you start to get into diminishing returns on visual quality, while incurring more power usage and heat.  
 
-If you want to do madVR tonemapping, change the GPU to a GTX 1660 and change the CASE to a Silverstone [GD-05 (21L)](https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/GD05/) and add a [500W+ ATX PSU](https://pcpartpicker.com/products/power-supply/#xcx=0&th=1&sort=price&m=8,337,50,11,14,17,18,27,28,94,29,229,51,71,63,441,56). If you want to keep a slimmer profile, change the CASE to a Silverstone [ML07 (14L)](https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/ML07/), the MOBO to an ITX one and add a [450W+ SFX PSU](https://pcpartpicker.com/products/power-supply/#xcx=0&th=5&sort=price&m=8,337,50,11,14,101,17,18,27,28,94,29,229,51,71,63,441,56&A=450000000000,2050000000000).  
+You can alternately change the CASE to a Silverstone [GD09 (26.8L)](https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/computer-chassis/GD09/) w/a ATX PSU, to get more room for storage, better cpu and/or a bigger, quieter cooler. 
 
-If you can't afford to do a new build, you can buy a [2nd-hand SFF pre-built](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=sff+%28i5-7400%2Ci5-7500%2Ci5-7600%2Ci5-8400%2Ci5-8500%2Ci5-8600%29+-optiplex+-prodesk&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_fsrp=1&_odkw=sff+%28i5-7400%2Ci5-7500%2Ci5-7600%29+-optiplex+-prodesk&_osacat=0&_sop=15) off ebay and pop the GTX 1650 low profile in it.
