I rebuilt my PC just so that I could play F1 23 in VR on higher settings and... it absolutely rocks.

I upgraded my previous small form factor build from an SG13 case to the newer Silverstone SG16 case so that I could turn up the graphics in VR for F1 23. I needed to upgrade my GPU to something bigger and better, which ultimately ended up being the newly released ASUS 4070 DUAL. When comparing the measurements of the case with that of the GPU on their respective websites, the tolerance numbers overlap by 1mm, so I suppose it technically shouldn't fit, but I wanted to give it a shot anyways since it was so close.

As it turns out, the Asus 4070 Dual BARELY fits in the SG16- there's maybe a couple millimeters allowing you to squeeze the 4070 into the opening in the case. I also upgraded from a low profile CPU cooler to a much larger dual tower cooler. Everything else is pretty much transplanted from the previous SG13 build to save cost- so really all I had to buy new was the SG13 case, 4070 GPU, and new CPU cooler- and an extra 120mm slim case fan because I had the extra room. I was able to keep the same ITX motherboard, CPU, RAM, SFX PSU, nvme boot drive, and additional storage 2.5" ssd as well as the 120mm Noctua case fan which was the only case fan in the original SG13 build.

So, in the end I've achieved a much larger GPU, a much larger CPU cooler, and much better cooling in exchange for only a slightly larger case while looking aesthetically better too. Overall, very happy with this build.
