Approximate Purchase Date: within a month.
Budget Range: $1000-$1500 (before shipping)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: VR, blender 3d rendering (cpu, gpu (cuda cores required)), gaming, content consumption.
Parts Not Required: Mouse.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, amazon etc.
Country: US
Parts Preferences: I would like a small form factor pc capable of handling unoptimized VR games and is based on an Intel/Nvidia and works well with the HTC Vive.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No (outside of form factor restraints)
Monitor Resolution: 2560 x 1080 (21:9)
Additional Comments: As mentioned I would like to have a small form factor PC that can handle VR and house moves both semi-local and international and can be taken on a plane rather than shipped.
I'm (very) loosely basing the build around Bitwit's "Go anywhere do anything" PC
My current part list as of the time first posting this can be found HERE (pc part picker)
I'm looking to use the Fractal Design Node 202 case and use a GTX 1080 video card.
Does anyone have any experience with the case and can tell me if the card will fit?
(if anyone is wondering I plan on using this monitor and don't really care what keyboard I get as long as it has a num pad, but mechanical is nice)
Also, pc part picker is saying that the Asus Z170I PRO motherboard might need a BIOS update to use the i7-7700 but I don't have any other CPUs that I can use to do this, is there another way? Should I use the MSI version of the board or is there a better board for the build?
Lastly, as this is my first real build (I've disassembled and reassembled computers before but never purchased my own parts for a build) any recommendations for better hardware compatibility (like a better CPU cooler that would fit in the case, better SSDs, etc.) would be greatly appreciated or any ways to curb a bit of the price, I'm not such a stickler for read/write speeds or noise.
Thanks in advance!
