Ive built two full size PC's in my time and i plan to build a third, however this is for my older brother, I want to build him a small build because he crosses the state quite often and he needs it to be small so it doesn't take up to much space. 

 

I want to try and re create a mid range/low range version of this....

 My current idea is something like this https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/ZLc4QV 

I was just wondering if someone has any experience with this case and if so, if there would be any compatibility issues regarding size. 

Feel free to not care as I will likely do the research myself, but thank-you in advance if you decide to care. 

 

Good night, from Australia!

-I would get a 1400 instead and forgo the AIO

-why 2 SSDs and not 1?

-you should get 1x8gb ram instead for better upgradibility to 16gb

-not so great psu

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
