Building a VR Ready PC

[azurkaylea]

I'm quite new to all of this and currently ordering all the components I need to build a high usage VR ready computer for a business I'm trying to decide what case will be best, I've had some mixed opinions and I'm not sure if these will have enough airflow with an 8600K processor and GTX 1080ti. The sizes I'm looking at are smallish as I want it to be portable. These are the kind of sizes I'm looking at, what do you guys think?

That x1.0 has much better airflow capability just by looking at the front. But I'd recommend you also look at a few other cases like the Corsair 380t (has a carrying case handle) and the Fractle Design Nano S which have very good airflow.

What GTX 1080 Ti are you planning on buying? When dealing with mini itx form factors, it's critical to know if your graphics card will fit or not.

Hi, thanks.

Those cases look great but are a bit too big.

It's the ENGV sc2 one:

So do you think with a good cooler it'll be fine?

Yep it'll fit.

Aio cooled cpu and gpu to output the heat outside the case. Portable and has some bling factor.
