Down sizing

[Varksy]

Going to be moving accommodation after the summer has ended and i'm looking to downsize my system. Ill be moving too and from every 6-8 months or so. As you can see, the case is massive, reason for that is i wanted to have as much space as possible within the case for any future upgrades. As situations have changed etc, i wont be able to use this system where ill be staying. I toyed with the idea of going back to a gaming laptop, im still undecided but ideally i want something thatll last a few years. I really like the idea of going for an ITX or mATX system, i know this generally means spending a little more money however if its reasonable ill look at pursuing it. I play mainly AAA titles aswell as games like warzone, WOW, destiny ETC. My current monitor is an ultra 144Hz 32" 1440p curved monitor. If anyone has any build ideas, general ideas about how i can lay out my set up or any insight to having a gaming setup in a smaller space, please leave a comment.

Either should take your whole system unchanged

My previous system was built in Thetis. As long as you know the limitations and take time to install the parts in right order it is awesome.
Current new built in LianLi O11 Air Mini for more airflow. Same height and depth, but wider.

I am very interested in the Lian Li case. Ideally, I did also want to carry out some upgrades as well. Not entirely sure where to start. I feel the 3600x and 5700xt are somewhat dated now? not entirely sure

I say at the moment it does. Unsure if it's my choice in the monitor but I find myself having to turn down settings in more demanding games of or games with a lot going on. I get that an ultra-wide monitor will use my GPU power, but i don't want to get to a point where I should have just gone with a lesser monitor.

EDIT

obviously, I'm still undecided whether the monitor will come with me, it's a lot to lug about when I'm having to move about every year. This is just in the case of me keeping the monitor and wanting a system that can handle it abit better.
