Hey crew,

I'm really looking for some advice on this build. The hard requirements were:

Very high performance (future proofing, not OCing. There won't likely be any OCing on this. I tend to keep my PCs for 3-5 years).
Carry handles. I have a very large room downstairs for VR but my office is upstairs. I will be moving this around frequently.
Small(ish) form factor to aid in portability, without getting into mini itx and major air flow problems.
So that's it. I'm most curious on anyone else that's used this case. Appears to be quite roomy. Is the 105 the best option for a roof rad or should I be going air cooler? I like the AIO units more so, personally.

I'll leave it there. Really, really need some opinions. This is for high-end gaming/VR. Will be picking up the Vive Pro once this is built and heading down that path etc.

Thanks all,

Solid build, but maybe try for a smaller GPU considering you are going Portable:

Video Card: Zotac - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Mini Video Card

Currently OOS but get it when it comes back in. Feel free to stick with your current choice, however.

As for the cooler, if you are not OC'ing, consider an equally good Air Cooler. Should make cable management easier to handle. Noctua makes some good ones like the D15s and if really small unit then consider Cryorig.
