Streacom F1C Evo WS GPU Mod
I've built something similar with a 65W TDP 4590S and a EVGA GTX750Ti Superclock but since then I've replaced it with a Palit GTX 1050 TI StormX. I have it as a tower though with an active intake behind the motherboard and temperatures for both CPU and the graphics card don't go about 70... -

Can you go off-grid and still have a decent-enough PC Experience?
My main advice is to avoid using inverters like the plague. They are very inefficient and are totally unnecessary for a battery-based desktop setup. Use a DC-DC supply like a HD-Plex 160W or 400W.

Project Jam-Pack – 4 Litre ITX Gaming Sandwich PC
A couple of years ago I lived on a boat and came to the realization that gaming was a luxury I couldn’t have access to with my current hardware. I set about designing a computer that was capable of decent gaming performance, had an excellent power-to-watt ratio and was as compact as possible...
