Hi everyone!
I'm extremely new here. A representative showed me this forum while I was on Reddit!
I had lots of helpful members guide me- but I feel like I'd get much more advice here since the subreddit is quite inactive.
I sold my old gaming PC for 750 and would really like to have a PC that I can lug around no problem.
I'm in a dilemma. I need a PC that is quiet, cool, and can play games no problem. I have a small list here but I have tons of questions and would like to know if anyone can provide a bit of insight!
Here's what I have currently on PCPP.

I'm going to be doing some light overclocking but may increase it over a certain period of time. I chose these parts from other's completed builds, but I still have a few questions.
First of all, the motherboard. I need to have something really really nice that I won't have much problems with. Meaning... nice BIOS, easy overclocking, M.2 SSD compatibility (with the one I have now) and overall spectacular build quality.
Next- the graphics card. I'm seriously planning on getting the reference 1070, but I have the option to get a used 980 ti for 400 USD. I don't know which one to get! I will for sure be waiting to build my PC until after Pascal cards come out.
One thing I'd like to also receive information on is the power supply. I hear it's very good, but I don't know much other than I should be purchasing this. I'm stuck on getting the 450 watt (I think it exists? Unless I mean the one by silverstone) version or the 600 watt version. I'd like to save power and my electric bill is quite high. If I can save costs by any means I will do so. What option is best, and will support a card like the R9 390, 1070, 980 ti, etc? From what I've been told they both can handle the cards easily.
Another thing is the fans. I hope these are a good choice. It matches my CPU cooler and is relatively cheap. I don't want to spend too much on fans but I hear that they're good quality, good cooling, and relatively quiet.
Lastly I'd like to get custom cables so that I can make it look nice in case I want to add a window in the future and be spacious so I can easily remove parts here and there later on. I'm pretty sure I don't need to get custom cables for everything- just the ones that are important. If anyone here has experience ordering them for SFFPCs, I'd love to hear about it. I'd like to know what the perfect sizes are and the only cables I need to purchase. I think someone said their quote online was about 50 dollars.
The other parts I didn't mention is what I'm pretty much set on. I got the SM951 M.2 512 GB SSD for free so I already have it!
Other than that, thank you in advance!
Thank you for reading too- I apologize for how fricken long this thread is. I really don't want to fuck up so I spent a long time considering what questions to ask.
++ If anyone has a bag or case that they use for carrying around their NCASE M1, please let me know! I'd like to know how people lug around PCs to lans and stuff.
