idk... lol this is an enthusiast grade level system. How would it fit in the upper compartment above your head on the airline? You might want to put some of the parts inside your backback, like the GPU, CPU cooler, ram stick and then just checkin the case/mobo at the front desk.

That case is on Pcpp, but it did not show you because your components would not fit inside it. Your Motherboard is ATX, while this takes on Micro and Mini ATX.

With that case you chose, this is the type of build you are looking at:

Smaller Motherboard. Otherwise same parts but different PSU. OH, and your GPU does not fit into the case you chose. It is longer than the case allows.

You should then consider the ZOTAC GTX 1080 TI MINI.

"The maximum dimensions for a carry-on bag are 9 inches x 14 inches x 22 inches (22 cm x 35 cm x 56 cm), including handles and wheels."

"The maximum dimensions for your personal item that fits under the seat in front of you, such as a shoulder bag, purse, laptop bag or other small item, are 9 inches x 10 inches x 17 inches (22 cm x 25 cm x 43 cm). "

With whatever box you'll put it in...is it smaller than that?

Seems like something more suited to ask the airlines than us. They come up with new rules regularly on the size and weight of carry on items.

 

[Alabalcho]

From case' spec:

Case dimensions (LxWxH): 395 x 212 x 399 mm

From @USAFret copy of United rules, reordered and in mm:

560 x 220 x 350 mm

Your case (without the cartoon box) is too deep. I don't think you'll be let on board with it, it won't fit in the overhead bin, and you won't pass the gate' size checker.

im not sure, the dimensions of the case fits within airlines specifications.. but i'm worried about the weight.. do you think i can pay to let me take it in or it will be refused immediately?

If it is too heavy for a carry on, it is too heavy. You can't pay extra for that.
The weight limit is due to the overhead compartment limits.

And are you sure it fits, when it is inside whatever box you'll put it in? Just the case by itself looks pretty close.
