I'm sure that case appeals to some people, but for me it looks like an absolute monstrosity xD

Use the menus on the left to narrow your results to your liking,

Don't think 1080 is needed for anyone on 1080p

 

OP, what resolution is your monitor / TV you will connect to this?

I personally like screen real-estate more than performance. For example, I would rather have more displays, and a worse computer compared to the other way around. The same goes for my setup. Here are some photos of my setup for inspiration.
