Hello, the description clearly states your needs: a Windows GPU setup with an SFF build. You're looking for a motherboard compatible with Intel or AMD chips, preferably Intel. The goal is to keep the GPU outside the case for NLE rendering while handling everyday tasks and HTML/CSS work. No high-end gaming required. Let me know if you'd like suggestions!
What kind of editing software are you using? What is the overall budget for your system? It makes little sense to add an external GPU since an ITX case can fit everything more compactly than a PC plus an external GPU enclosure. You could also opt for a PCI-e riser cable if you need to separate components.
I've often questioned whether it's possible to fit an external PCI enclosure, install a graphics card inside, and connect everything to your motherboard via a PCI extension cable. Back when I used ProTools, I had an external PCI chassis for that purpose. I'm curious if a similar setup can work for graphics cards now.
