Downsizing

[brianhennessy19298]

Hello everyone.

I'm going to France for 4 months at the end of August and I am looking to bring my PC, however it's in a massive Corsair 230T at the moment.

My current build is:
Case: Windowed Orange Corsair 230T
CPU Cooler: Dark Rock Pro 3
CPU: Intel i5 6600K (lga 1151)
RAM: 16gb DDR4 G-Skills Ripjaws V
Storage: 2TB WD Blue
Mobo: Asus Z170 Sabertooth Mark S ATX
PSU: Corsair RM650x Fully Modular
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 390

I'm hoping to majorly downsize into a Node 202 that can fit in my school bag.

I'll be swapping the motherboard for a Asus H110I plus DDR4 Lga 1151 Mini ITX OR the ASRock H310M-ITX so I can keep my cpu and ram. I'm swapping the cooler out for a Noctua NH-L9i.

I want to try and keep the GPU and supposedly according to other builds it fits, albeit tight. PSU is my only real issue. Case only supports SFX so I'm considering either squeezing it in or having it external (not ideal, but I'm on a budget)

Can anyone offer any advice or opinions on this? All feedback welcome, thanks for taking the time to read!

Unless you have a very good deal ok that ITX board. I would incorporate a plattform upgrade with the change ik mobo

How about the ASRock H310M-ITX? I can get the H110L plus for around £65. The ASRock H310 is £80 but has PCIe 3.0 and onboard Wifi compared to the Pcie 2.0 and no onboard wifi of the H110L.
