Go for horizontally mounted cases like bitfenix, 250D, thermaltake check out Ncase also.
Dont assume that Intel bias is strong. There is really almost no reason to get amd chipset and CPU in sg context. Weak customer support, not readily available and lackluster performance.
If amd chips are readily available than intel, or vastly superior than intel's offerings, don't see why not. However, the current situation is largely contrary to what i mentioned; AMD cpu build is hence strongly discouraged.
Gpu and CPU different story. Whilst CPU is lagging behind, gpu they are trading blows with nvidia's flagships. Though the rebrands can be really annoying. Hopefully they come up with the never settle bundle again...
Dont think they bought the 1k gpu just to 'play' with it. They really used it and have a purpose for it to drive the 1440p monitor...
