I'm looking into building a gaming PC though I do want to keep it small in size.
I have decided to go for MATX and decided on the below builds with the Corsair Air240 (Isn't yet showing PC part picker). However I'm split on the two builds would there be any noticeable difference between the two and the pros and cons?
I'm sure it's not to everyones taste a MATX build though I want a rather small build that will allow me to play up coming games, run multiple VM's (Testing Purpose), Media Server to stream to TV, and every other day tasks.
