Help with Mini ITX Build

[ubgradde01]

Hello,

 

I'm a first time builder. I'm moving after I build my PC so I want it to fit in my carry on bag. 

That's why I think I'm gonna build inside a Micro ATX case but I want an X570 Mini ITX MOBO cause I think they are better than the current Micro ATX ones. 

 

My current specs are:

I don't know if I should go for the Gigabyte or ASRock Motherboard. 

 

Any recommendations? Should I go for an ATX build?

 

Thanks a lot!

Why not go for a mini itx case

Where are you located now and where are you moving too?

From my personal experience if you're located in the US taking Desktop PC's even if small is a hassle especially as a carry on item, some airlines won't even let you, they will have you check it. If I were you I would wait until you were moved to build your PC, if you want to take it as a carry on what are you going to to with the monitor and peripherals?

Because I like the case I have and I want more space. And It's still not that big. I didn't like the Mini ITX cases lol.

I'm moving from Puerto Rico to Wisconsin. So yeah maybe I will wait the year or send the components and stuff directly there to my gf.
