Hey guys,
my old Notebook finally completly died yesterday (RIP :c), but this forces me to finally transition over to an ITX build which I alway wanted to do.
Unfortunately I don't have a case yet, but I need to build it ASAP because I need it for a) University and b) the new Final Fantasy XIV Expansion on friday (
).
So the plan is to get the smallest, fastest available case - the node 202 - and build a system in it which I can transition over into an S4 Mini whenever I would be able to get one of those awesome cases.
(I am open for other ideas though!)
I am ordering in Germany and I tried to get under 900€ which I cant seem to get, but this is my current build:

What do you think of it? Any ideas/tips to make it better and/or cheaper?![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I am probably also gonna slap 2 case fans into it.
Greetings Ken
EDIT: Idiot me forgot to mention what the PC is supposed to be used for...
Mostly daily usage, for 1080p 60fps gaming, mainly e-sport gaming titles like LoL and overwatch. But also the MMO final fantasy XIV.
Would be nice to have some headroom though in case I want to grab a future triple A title and play it in 1080p 60fps at low to medium settings.![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Also some programming work and Blender.
The possibility to have a 2nd screen running while playing to watch stuff on or 3d model would be amazing!
