New Pc build, need help.

[Mike32]

Hello,

I recently started gathering parts for a new PC. Being a laptop user for years, I tried my best and selected a few parts that I think would be good and goes well with my budget (around 2000$). Is there anything I need to add to my PC and are there better options than the ones i have chosen ?

P.S. I work in editing field (just finished university) , so I chosen a good Dell UltraSharp monitor already.

What am I missing or could be changed ? I'm also looking for a compact case, because I travel very frequently.
I can't tell the exact country were would I buy it, because I'm not sure were I will be in one month time.

Thank you in advance,
Mike.

You need a laptop seriously. It is not worth it chugging those things around.

A Sager/Clevo would be the best.

Laptop screens doesn't have the quality I need, and I hate MAC's so apple products goes out of question.

If you travel so often and bring a case with you, it would look very strange.

you might even be detained because some would think you're bringing a bomb into the airport lol.

Drop the CM PSU, also a 750W will be MORE than enough, for a single card (a 650W would work). No on the socket 1366 (dead socket, look for 1155, or 2011). Unfortunately the 6990 is a huge card, so it won't fit in most cases.
