Budget ITX Gaming Build

Build Description
I've had a couple of these Cooler Master NR200P cases and love them for the build versatility. ITX Boards can be very expensive but this case is unique as it can fit a smaller Matx board that only takes up 3 pcie slots instead of the normal 4. They aren't common, but typically they are some of the cheapest boards available. I had some extra hardware so I wanted to do a fun build that I never done before and am really happy how it turned out. Some of my other builds can be seen here at www.instagram.com/zorek_builds
Favorite Feature
My favorite thing by far is the layout of the hardware and why it had to be the way it is. The Motherboard is taller and wider than a normal ITX board. Because of this I couldn't mount the PSU next to it in the default layout. It can normally be mounted up top on the right side, but the GPU was so wide and wouldn't allow that in a vertical mount which I really wanted for this setup. Luckily the bottom of the case has a ton of slots to allow airflow and I was able to mount the PSU bracket there for a very unique layout.
