Hi guys, not too familiar with SFF compatible parts. I've the intention to build a SFF system catered for high-end/VR gaming. Just need the SFF, no need external parts. Any recommendations for budget at $2k?

I'm thinking I'll at least need a 980ti. Is i7 necessary? Thanks! :)

Many thanks for sharing!

Keen to take up the RVZ02. GPU-wise, not too interested with the reference design. I reckon the other Zotac editions should have restocks?

Nevertheless, appreciate your inputs! and thanks MoneyFace for the direct links too. :)

Wah... Wasted... Why not change case instead than gpu?

haii.. dunno, at a lost...

U reckon change case would be a better way forward? Quite wasted having a R9 290 in it right?

Was actually looking at SFF types.. But if really change case, any comments on this?

I think there are a few good ones being intro by some Bros here in one of the thread on itx build... Think bigger case at least got better ventilation and Don need to worry about future card upgrade .... Hack... U can even put in a Radeon Pro duo... :D

Welcome to the 980 Ti club bro! It is much easier to change the case then the whole GPU. At least you won't lose as much by selling the case compared to the card.

Zotac GTX 980 Ti cards are really thick. AMP! Omega takes up to 2.5 slot.

Sad leh.. I even broke the 2 screw holders for RVZ02's optical drive just cuz I wanted to fit a 3.5" HDD there.. This before I tried to fit the gfx..

There goes further $$$... :s22::s22:

what kinda SFF cases can accommodate a full length GPU

Ncase M1, next batch is starting shipping in 2 weeks :D

For reference, M1 is 12.6 litres and fits 2x120mm+3 pci-e slot, rvz01 is 14 litres. Worth every penny for a full alu sff case.

Gonna finish my M1 wc build soon :s12:
