After moaning about it being over priced! Anyways, now we've ascertained that I'm a muppet with more money than sense can someone tell me of a 500W Gold SFX PSU is enough for...

EVGA Stinger Z170 M-ITX mainboard
Intel 6600k
AMD Nano
SSD and M.2 card
EK Water Blocks EK-DCP 4.0 PWM X-RES (incl. pump)
3x 120 Noiseblocker NB-eLoop Fan B12-P fans

I really hope so as I just purchased the PSU and all the components. The OCuk site says 500w or more... guessing I will just about make the cut here? I'm just worried about attempting to OC the CPU.
 
Thanks guys I really appreciate the quick feedback! I will try and create a build log for the system, but I am currently stuck on which case to get. I will either go with Parvum Veer 1.0 or the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX Mini-ITX.

Decisions, decisions!
 
Wow I was expecting more of a backlash for buy a Nano! I should have more faith in folks on these forums! Thanks all!

fs123 the Parvum looks nice but it twice as much as the Phanteks... I still need to buy Win10, 3xfans and 1x 240 Rad and 1x 120 Rad. Was looking to save some money somewhere:)

Yeah I searched for the Parvum on Google before checking price on OCUK. Expensive but looks nice.

The Corsair Obsidian ITX looks similar without the grills and windows though. For Win10 just get a cheap windows 7/8.1 license for about £20 and upgrade.
 
Nice one Spike and buying hardware with your own money never makes you an idiot. It would be good to get some feedback on it and your thoughts on quietness and performance overall in particular.
 
What you spend money on is completely up to you obviously but I'm gonna ask the question that everyone else wants too.

Why would you buy a Nano instead of spending the same money on the faster Fury X when you intend to use it in a waterloop build? It seems crazy.
 
Nano is an awesome lil card imho.

My second favorite after the 980 Ti, just the price that stops it been my fav.

Really want to do a Mini ITX Skylake build with Nano, but cannot justify cost / use lol.

My next build in a couple of years with be Mini ITX, these lil form factor cards will be even more beastly by then..
