Was thinking of building a MATX for under the desk, size constraints mean that only the SG09 and SG10 are cases that will fit.

Size constraints being : 24cm (W) 40cm (D) 42cm (H)

In terms of usage, it will mainly be for light use, light gaming (Civ 5, Beyond Earth, 4X games mainly, no FPS or AAA games).

I chose a reference card for the blower style, not sure on what would be best for a small MATX case such as the SG09, a reference cooler or aftermarket one.

I already have a Corsair AX650 PSU and a 180Gb Intel SSD as well as a 24" Dell Monitor.

I was thinking something along the lines of either :

If I'm trying to save pennies or :

If I wanted to go for something a little more powerful.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with the SG09/10 and if a full sized card with aftermarket cooler would cope with the default cooling options.
