Hello!
I am looking at building a new Mini-ITX gaming system. Trying to keep it somewhat portable while keeping thermals down without actually going liquid cooling in order to be able to transport as my carry-on luggage when I travel. I am upgrading from my current system which isn't ideal or as powerful as I want. From what I have researched this new build should definitely out-perform my current setup. Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Ive done some research and I think all of these will fit clearances inside the case but there could be more viable options out there and better cooling solutions but I am still learning about all of this. I helped my brother build his PC but it was in a full size ATX Tower and he bought a Micro ATX MB without knowing but we managed to make it work.
