Solid build you got there! I love the SG13, just built a system in that case myself. It's a slightly more advanced case to build in because it is so compact and hard to cable manage in but you should be just fine! I would remove the HDD tray at the top front, as you do not need it and it will be in the way. Gives room to stuff cables away. Good luck!

Thank you!

My only concern is that as a newbie, is that what are my upgrade options with this build

backstory: i travel a lot and i need a build that i can pack in my suitcase and game anywhere!

looks like a fun build. only recommendation i can think of is to get a better fan than the one that comes with the H60. id suggest a noctua nf-f12 or corsair ml12

Upgrade options are limited due to hardware size. But new CPU and GPU down the road is perfect. Just can't fit big hardware in. I wiill finish my build log right away and link it so you can see what I did.

Never mind a proper build log will take me to long.

 

Here is my build and insight I can provide:

 

Case: Start by removing all panels. you will need to leave the PSU shroud/support bracket. 

 

Cooler: I see you went with a 120mm AIO, good choice. The stock cooler won't fit anyways. if you change up your PSU and go SFX you can go push/pull with a 120mm AIO (what I did). Or if you just get a small/mini GPU you can get a 140mm AIO. With your config your cooler is perfect, anything more/bigger will not work. 

 

GPU: limited to dual slot twin fan cards or mini cards, nothing else will work or fit.

 

PSU: This is the only thing you may want to change. Reasoning for going SFX is to allow more room for a second AIO fan and it allows for more room to cable manage as well as a admittedly janky, but helpful 80mm exhaust fan. Otherwise this case only vents passively, you can turn your PSU the other way around to draw air out but then you are keeping your PSU under high operating temps, not ideal. I just held this fan in place with twist ties, it is perfectly fine and helps pull hot air out of the case. If you go SFX the cost is higher and you may need and SFX to ATX PSU shroud but its something to consider. 

 

 

Lastly if you care about dust consider getting some magnetic fine dust filters. Other than that expect a mess of wires but otherwise is fairly straight forward.

Thank you very much, this will definitely help me when I'm building it.

I'll be buying the parts during cyber Monday and build during Christmas break.

Hope I can reach out to you if I need input on certain things.

 

Thank you once again

So overall what would you recommend I replace what with what

My only recommendation is maybe get an SFX PSU instead so you have more room to ad a second AIO 120mm fan, and ad a 80mm exhaust fan. In my system I got the Corsair SF 450 gold and had to buy an SFX to ATX bracket separately.

I think I’ll take your recommendation.

will you be doing a proper build log? because that will really help me since it’s gonna be a similar build....I haven’t built a pc ever and so super nervous that I will mess something up!

Yeah I am planning on doing a build log, if I do I will link it to you
