Laptop except not? Mini-itx

[speedy41267]

So I've recently been in the market for a portable pc gaming solution. I browsed around for laptops for a couple weeks but couldn't find exactly what i wanted within my budget. So after receiving a little inspiration for linus in his triple monitor laptop build, I decided to go with a desktop instead. While this may not be truly portable or mobile because i can't use without power outlet, It's still an upgradable option, which is something i was hardly going to find with a laptop. And so, here it is:

Cooler Master Elite 130

ASUS ROG STRIX Z270I GAMING LGA 1151 Intel Z270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX

EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING DirectX 12 06G-P4-6262-KR 6GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card

CORSAIR RMx Series RM550X 550W 80 PLUS GOLD Haswell Ready Full Modular

Intel Core i5-7600K Kaby Lake Quad-Core 3.8 GHz LGA 1151 91W

Crucial MX300 2.5" 525GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

G.SKILL Aegis 16GB (2 x 8GB)

 

And for the monitor;

GeChic 1503H 15.6" IPS 1080p Portable Monitor

My biggest concern is cooling, but I may have to wait to order something for that, since I've exhausted my budget.

I've been able to make a desktop i3 4th gen and 750ti stay within a super small form factor (4CM) but never finished it.

Im using a 1155 stock fan for the 7600k until i can afford an all in on or something, probably should replace that asap. Also, need wireless mouse and keyboard i was the fewest amount of cords attached to peripherals as possible. Also im trying to come up with a solution to hide the wireless antennae. I think i might Velcro it to the inside of the case, though im a bit worried about static. My cable management is currently an atrocity, but i plan to improve that when i install the all in one

Nah,nah this isn't budget. But still nice machine you have there my friend. You've made a good decision with building a desktop. Laptops don't just give the performance for the money you've spent , I've learned that hard way

@Agris It's not budget, but i had a budget of $1300, the monitor ate a bunch of that up though.

Yeah, monitors take a quite bit of the budget . For monitor price we could'f bought a better video card
