Hi,
In the coming months (before the start of March) we have to move home, and space for gaming is going to be restrictive.

Both myself and wife are gaming and at the moment we have full tower gaming monsters based on the i7 4790k, nvidia 970, 16gb ram, ssd os drives, windows 10/7 dual boot.

Budget £3000 for two gaming computers
Requirements
Small form factor
Powerful (we will both be using the occulus rift when it comes out and the minimum spec is 970, I know we can not future proof but will be wanting something with more oomph than the 970) remember we have 2 months to plan this so is there anything new graphics card wise on the horizon.

This is the basics of what I was thinking
Fractal Design Define Mini
Asrock x99 Extreme 4
i7 5930K
Teamgroup 16gb
Superflower Leadex platinum (used these in all the house computers love the reliability)
Bluray drive
SM951 512GB M.2 PCI-E 3.0 X 4 NVME SOLID STATE DRIVE (the speeds on these are insane and for an os drive with a few of the more HD intensive games its worth the price)
2TB HD

I would prefer to stick with Nvidia although the Radeon nano looks amazing.
 
No one got any ideas or perspective on this ?
Do I take that as I am planning it all correctly or its so bad an idea that no one can take there hands from face long enough to type :)
 
Hey,
I've lived in a few places where I've struggled for space and the easiest solution I've found is to wall mount the case overhead, above the desk, turned so one side is flat against the wall.

Spending time/money/effort in the search of the ideal setup when you have 2 capable gaming systems doesn't seem wise. Especially since Small Form Factor + high performance is notoriously difficult to get right. Builds can often be a pain and you will struggle with airflow and heat.

Good luck with your move :)
 
The only problem with that idea is this is going to be the main living room having two big cases (mine is a corsair 750) they will take up too much room.

Thank you for the idea though.
