So I'm looking to build my first PC from scratch. I have a Zotac GTX 1070 founders edition I just picked up at a great price. I'm hoping to build around it. From my research I noticed that blower style GPUs can work better in smaller cases so I was thinking a mini-ITX would a) look nice b) be portable c) be compatible. Budget is not really an issue and I am in no rush to complete the project as it will take several months.
Questions:
Am I on point with thinking this GPU will work in a mini-ITX? Is there a reason I should go for a larger case?
What are the best mini ITX cases out (or coming out)?
What build would you recommend?
Side note: since I am in no rush, when is the best time to buy components? Do they often go on sale around christmas/black friday? I'm Canadian if that helps.
Thanks for any help, I greatly appreciate it! I love learning about this stuff so any knowledge I can gather for this project is more than welcome.
