1500 dollar mini build?

[FishToast]

Im looking to build a pc for gaming that fits in a backbag. I have no idea which case or parts that might fit. Can one of you guys suggest me a powerful build for this size? Budget 1000-1600 dollars

this should do the job https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856158059
note, you need to buy CPU and RAM separately, but it is still well within the budget limits.

Thanks! That's nice and small. Although, peronally i would use a 1070 ti small version. I think it would still fit in the price.

Maybe im weird, but why not a laptop?

What will you do for a monitor that fits in a backpack?
If you want portability, consider a laptop.

If you simply want to plug in to a monitor/keyboard at your destination, look into a current gen intel hades canyon nuc.

Well aren't desktops more valueble for the money.?No i just need to take ik with me to other place. Where i also have screens etc. It doesnt realy need to be 'backbag fit' but just small and easy enough to carry arround

Sure they can be more affordable for the $ but you run into 2 main issues. Finding a small enough case that has good airflow, because most of these pre-made ones were designed to have good airflow for the specs they put in them.

Also, if you're moving around a lot, you might not want to be carrying around an actual desktop PC because the parts can break if you're just a little too rough. So you'd have to find a way of keeping everything in place and making sure nothing can come loose and break.

the smaller the computer, the more it costs.
So ultra small PCs are expensive and have about the same HW as laptops.
for example, here is a laptop with 16GB of RAM, i7 and GTX 1060 SSD and HDD for 1300$

you'd pay about 650-700$ to buy those extras for the DeskMini from my first post so it would be even more expensive while not having battery, screen, keyboard.
Rationally, laptops are much more affordable and more convenient than mini gaming PCs.
For 1500$ you can get really cool laptop even with 120-144Hz monitor.
just look at this one with 8th gen CPU https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834234950
And i've checked only one store which don't have couple of models i'd expect to see.

My mini-itx build uses an EVGA Hadron Air case: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=110-MA-1001-K1

It fits in my MSI backpack. It is a big backpack though(came with my MSI GT83VR Titan SLi-055 laptop)

What are you doing that requires a PC to fit into a backpack?
