Backpack pc case, with full size dedicated GPU

[vytas]

Hi!

I have bought this old gaming pc few years ago, since then, I have added a new GPU, but apart from that I haven't done anything else for it. I run live audio visual performance shows once or twice a month, and dragging around a massive pc is getting annoying (also expensive as I have to take cabs to most gigs). What would be a good case for me (I also feel that anything with a carrying handle would make my life a lot easier)? I am also ok to replace some of the parts, as I imagine, the power supply and the motherboard are probably going to be too big. Ideally I would like budget to remain under £200 (~ 250-260 usd) I am also ok with buying used parts, in case there is a more expensive, but popular piece of hardware that would be easy to find used.

 

List of the parts currently installed:

 

These I'd like to stay:

2x 8gb ram

i7-4770k processor

Nvidia 1080ti  (full size from ASUS, not the STRIX one)

SSD

 

These can go/be replaced

Gigabyte z87x-ud3h motherboard

EVGA 850 G2 power supply

SLI wifi + bluetooth card. Maybe there is a smaller motherboard with wifi+bluetooth onboard I could use?

Firewire card on SLI

HDD

 

 

Thank you!

First, maybe shoot for a smaller PSU, maybe some ssd's instead of hdd's and a smaller motherboard like: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/ZqBTwP/asrock-h310m-itxac-mini-itx-lga1151-motherboard-h310m-itxac (don't really know if it will fit your cpu)

Thanks for your response, unfortunately i7 4770k wont work with that, it has 1150 socket, and the motherboard you have recommended uses 1151. Otherwise looks like a good value motherboard.
