I've already done a post a few days ago, but I've made a few changes, and I would like a second opinion on the case/dimensions.
Budget Range: ~ $1,600. No more than $1,700 before rebates, shipping, and deals.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, everyday usage, Blender (3D modeling), occasional image/video editing.
Are you buying a monitor/OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, NewEgg, Microcenter
Location: U.S.A.
Your Monitor Resolution: Don't have one, but I would like it to be at least 1080p.
Overclocking: Would like the option.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Because my 'portable' laptop is become 'Frankenstein's Laptop'. There are parts kept together with tape...
Additional Comments: I've been using laptops for a while, so I need basically everything. Keyboard, headphones, mouse, etc.. I would like decent peripherals, don't need anything flashy just want it to work, and do it well.
Portability is a big factor in this build.
Future proofing (I'm used to minimum settings, so I should be good for a while) is a big factor in this build. Its going to be my rig for the next few years.
I would like someone to double check to make sure that this GPU, PSU, will fit with this case. If I've done the math right it should be fine, its going to be a tight fit though. Also will there be enough clearance for the power connector on the GPU?
