And then itll be there permanently or are you going to constantly move it around? If latter is the case id consider trading for a desktop replacement. If its the former consider just shipping with expanding foam and crates.

 

If youre in that inbetween where you would move it around every 3 months or something like that, i would remove the GPU regardless for transport but here are some smaller case than NZXT H9 that supports all of your hardware.

In that case downsize is actually kind of justified. Either way, i recommend thoroughly strapping down your GPU and CPU Cooler, or remove them during transport. Theyre the one most likely to break off during shipping and clank around the insides.
