Also another concern: my house is basically all carpet. How do I make sure I don't short circuit anything? Would a static strap be enough?

Thank you so much! I was also wondering about operating system and wifi? I would have to separately buy/install the operating system and would I need some sort of ethernet card?

The thing is how would you go about fitting/replacing the parts? Like what parts would you recommend for such a build?

I would like to keep it below 700 but 1000 is the absolute max..I don't know how my first time building will go..

I have never built any PC before and would greatly appreciate guidance! I was thinking of building a PC that has a good gaming experience and is good for school (but also has "ultimate value"). I recently watched one of Linus's videos ("Ultimate Value Gaming Build Guide") from back in 2014, but that build used a mid-tower case, which isn't the portability I'm looking for. I was planning on using the suggested parts here: However, I want to make a MINI gaming PC that I can fit in my carryon and bring between home and school. I am considering the following replacement parts: A smaller case: a slim fractal one, or a corsair carbide compact one A mini motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z270N-WIFI with Intel Z270 Express Mini-ITX Motherboard - LGA1151 Socket Would the remaining parts fit if I stuck with his build? What other suggestions and guidance do you guys have? Thank you so much!!
