This is really about what you want. If your question is "can you put an i7 and a GTX 1080 in a small case" then the answer is yes, easily, with no compromises.
What about sound and cooling, would there be issues with these components or new tech runs cool? Used to have hot hot 480 gtx and it would fry in little box
My apologies, previous threat was more about other components not focused on mini setup, if mod could merge both threads.
Going to use for gaming and some video editing , want it to be future proof for around 3 yrs.
The 1080 is gainwards founders edition, stock cooler

Btw whats smallest box Asus z170 can fit in ? I'm considering i7 6700k but it uses 1151 socket and seems like asus is way forward with price and quality ?
