There's one other reason I wouldn't build something that compact: airflow. I usually choose video cards that output a lot of heat, and something that jam-packed would cook the components if not placed in a rather cool room.
blower design gpu and smart case choice will take care of that, along with liquid cooling the cpu.
going to make this the best design I can, while only using the parts that are on sale at 20% cost.
ah okay.
I will trust your judgement.
if there is one thing I can do properly, it is building a computer.
Another reason why its not for me. My room gets hot in the summer. Thing would need a super fan. Hook a turbine to that excrement.
perhaps wait until it is done to reserve judgement
