The case mods are required for adequate cooling and the case's lack of a PCIe slot. Since the "Neutronium3" build MSI has come out with a short gtx-760 card and a gaming motherboard designed for a mini-itx case like this. His solution (albeit a slightly better gpu) required a mod and recombination of two different gpu's (too scary for my experience level at this point).
I'm attempting the build with an optical drive (as I already had one). and a more standard hdd/ssd combination build, as I want to use it for more than just gaming.
Looking now at various case cooling possibilities, as I hate to ruin the nice aesthetics of the LianLi, especially since mine is silver.
If you decide on this case, stay in touch and we can swap notes.
