I have been wanting to build a desktop for a while now, but I held back because I plan to move overseas in near future, and build it there, which I know is the right thing to do.

But I have spent ~24 hours in last 3 days researching specs and right build for me. I “need” to know :p. If I act on it, I’ll have to sell the new monitor, tower case, power supply (the bulky items) just after few months of use, once I move overseas, only taking remaining parts with me.

This sudden hyperfixation is crazy. Have slept just 3 hours today (when my body just gave up and shut down). Just thought I’ll share.

Stop looking at big cases. You can build a small form factor PC in a case that’s a quarter the size of a mid tower case. You can literally put the computer in your luggage and take it with you when you move.

I’m not sure how you’re getting to $2000 in your build price either. A radeon 7900 GRE is an incredible 2k gaming card for ~$550, and your video card should typically be about half the price of your build.
