This will be my first custom built PC. Originally I was going the laptop workstation route w/ an eGPU, but after some research I decided the tech wasn't there yet and I wouldn't want to burn out my laptop on the longer rendering tasks.
So the small form factor PC fits my needs well, allowing me to pack up and travel with it if the opportunity arises. The Cerberus' size and expansion slots are perfect, not to mention sleek as hell.
I'm a beginner, so honestly I don't know what to look for - can anyone with a more experienced eye tell me if this build works/makes sense? I mostly went by ratings/prices on PCPartPicker. Also it would be great to hear from anyone who has previously built a computer with a Cerberus case. Thanks!
