I've been working on a build for my wife and wanted to get a second pair of eyes to make sure I'm not doing something stupid. She'll be using the machine for video and photo editing, but will need to travel with it frequently enough that the smaller case is critical.
From what I've read on the tonymacx86 forum, it sounds like this MoBo should be compatible with the ASUS ThunderboltEXII card.
My big concern at this point is whether I'll actually be able to fit the GTX 770, Thunderbolt card, and wireless adapter on the board. Any input on layout and compatibility would be appreciated.

Pretty much everything else is off the August buyer's guide, so I'm hopeful it will work. Thanks for taking a look.
