accepting all tf2 player mms at fight pitt 8

I go to a weekly just about every week and usually go to regionals within an hour or so on weekends. I'll probably be PR'd next cycle.

Melee is really easy to get into these days. Get a controller (nintendo brand, either the smash4 ones or original-- 3rd party are always terrible), an adapter, and set up this version of dolphin with an iso of NTSC melee v1.02. Or if you already have it, a GC/Wii and a melee disc works fine.

Depending on where you live, locals can be really good or really bad. Mine are great; we have one weekly that gets 30 people minimum during the semester and the TOs do a good job of making things run on time. Conversely, the region to our west has at least 5 weekly/biweekly tournaments that rarely break 20 entrants and they're not nearly as competitive.

One-day regionals are the most fun tournaments IMO.

Play whatever character you like so long as it isn't absolute trash (think worse than DK/links). Until you at least reach an intermediate level, any character can work.

Don't listen to anyone that tells you that X is broken, Y is too easy, etc. The level of mutual skill required before a given situation actually becomes intractable is far beyond anything you'll accomplish within the first few months of playing at the very least. The best thing about melee is that there is counterplay to almost everything in the game.

Never gone to a major and probably never will until I think I'll be a legitimate competitor at one. Paying >$100 for venue/brackets + needing to get housing overnight is unreasonable for a tournament that I won't make it out of R2 pools in.

New case because the old computer is still functional; it'll probably turn into a NAS server. Any regularly shaped mid tower should be fine.

I've read into the Meltdown/Spectre issues and, from my understanding, I don't think my usage will be affected that much-- I don't use VMs for anything or do large file transfers frequently.

Probably should have expected no analog out.

I'm completely unfamiliar with workstation cards. Since the work I do in SolidWorks/Altium is far from professional (mostly viewing/editing others' designs or making small boards), I don't think I need the extra performance from a Quadro/FirePro.

Being able to run games in 2K or stream, while not a main concern, would be nice. If the budget seems overkill for the desired specs, getting a more powerful GPU is good.

I would prefer an nVidia card since CUDA drivers are nicer than OpenCL and my school uses them in the engineering/CS clusters.

I value single-threaded performance more than the advantage in rendering times, so 8700k it is.

Getting a new 200R would be easiest for travel
No new HDDs
With my current SSD, I notice file transfer times much more with many small files than few large files, so I'll say random speed, but I am not overly concerned either way.

I believe that until the upcoming year's version (Altium Designer 18), all operations were single-threaded; I think that it's very unlikely that it will be able to fully utilize >6 cores.

I would prefer to build it now before going back to school, which would mean ordering parts before the weekend. How much worse/more expensive would a similarly priced/spec'd AMD build be?

I'm looking to build a new computer with the goal of being able to check it on an airplane without serious risk. Naturally, the GPU will come out and go in a separate suitcase, but I would prefer not having to remove the CPU heatsink or any other components. I have a hardshell suitcase that fits the box for my current case (200R) snugly.

I already have a 1TB SSD (SATA), but will probably want another of similar size to replace my storage HDD. Assume I don't have any other components to work with.

I'd like to be able to run games such as TF2 (@ 144hz), Dark Souls 3 (high settings preferably), Fortnite (minimal), and Path of Exile (minimal). Streaming isn't a concern.

Also, best performance for the budget in industry software like Altium Designer and Solidworks is desirable.

Support for VGA (can be through DVI-I) would be great.
Overclocking is fine.
Assume no OS/monitor/peripheral cost.

Budget is ~$1700, willing to do as much as $2000 if that's a better price point for this kind of build. I understand that checking a computer is retarded.
