wut What cards are blowerstyle and what cards arent?!!?

The ones that look like that. Pretty much all reference cards. They have a single fan (not a normal fan in terms of having blades) at the end of the card.

Blower doesn't matter at all. The 202 has enough ventilation in the graphics card area for a normal graphics card to work fine.

You don't need a blower one, I don't know who said you did, and the 3GB 1060 is just stupid, Nvidia cut away some of the CUDA cores and therefore it is less powerful.

What is the purpose of this PC? gaming? you're overspending in some areas and underspending in others IMO (cpu much more powerful than GPU)

 

Assuming gaming, you should scrap the 6700, drop down to a 6400/6500/6600 (assuming you're gaming at 1080p/60hz). use the saved money to get a SSD  for your OS, and a better GPU (an rx 480 4GB/8GB or 1060 6GB would be a good bet). You may also whish to consider getting a blower style GPU since there isn't a ton of airflow to be had in your choice of case. Its also worth noting that the Node 202 case can be bought with an included PSU. its reasonably high quality, 500W, and will be plenty for your current build and save you money instead of buying that SF450 from corsair. I would also recommend a motherboard that has built in Wifi if you're going to be travelling. You should be able to afford all of the mentioned changes with minimal total cost difference, if you redistribute some of your spending.

Mini atx is much less popular than micro atx...

Micro ATX offers the cheapest motherboards, generally speaking, and there are countless $15 sheet metal boxes masquerading as mATX towers. Thing is, even the smallest mATX cases are quite a bit less portable than an ITX case would be, and unless you're after SLI (not a thing in a travel build anyway), enough case fans to lift off a 737 (not necessary in a travel build anyway) or slapping a dual-tower air cooler on there (again, not a thing in a travel build), Mini ITX is the far better choice.

No, people are creating problems by throwing unneeded information at you... basically, your build is fine, the GPU you chose is fine.

The PSU that comes with the Node 202 will die under load with a GPU, as reported by many users with the case and PSU combo.

There are a lot of garbage case/PSU combos out there... this isn't one of them. I could see it dying if someone dropped a high powered GPU, in with a k skew CPU, and tried overclocking them both.... definitely. that could wreck an inadequate PSU. but the 450W integra is plenty for i5+ a mid power GPU like the 1060 or 480. the Corsair unit is definitely better, but also more expensive. up to him.
