I'm currently setting up a dedicated streaming rig. It is an mATX build and I already have the following components - an AverMedia Live GamerHD and an i53570K.

I am currently looking at the following items:

  • Lian Li PC-V355B Aluminium Micro ATX Cube Case - Black
  • ASRock Z77 Pro4-M Motherboard
  • Corsair RM Series 450W Full Modular Silent Power Supply 80+ GOLD (PSU)
  • Corsair Memory Vengeance Jet Black 8GB DDR3 1866 MHz CAS 9-10-9-27 Dual Channel
  • Samsung MZ-7TE120BW 840 EVO 120GB Basic SSD SATA 3 7mm UltraSlim 2.5"
  • Scythe SCBSK-2100 Big Shuriken 2 Rev.B Low Profile CPU Cooler

Onto the questions:

  1. Is the Corsair 450w Full Mod ok for this Lian-Li case?
  2. The Pro4-M has an HDMI out as well as a VGA out (at least I think it does) so would this be ok to feed to two monitors? (one VGA to VGA and the other using an HDMI to VGA adaptor).
  3. Will the Scythe provide enough clearance on the Corsair RAM heat sinks?

I'm assuming the AverMedia Live Gamer HD would slot into one of the available PCI-E slots and I could always drop in a graphics card if required as well I believe if needed later on.

Any help on all of this would be hugely appreciated.

UPDATE
Well after a lot of digging around it looks like those Corsair sticks have a 52.5mm high profile so I'm opting for the Kingston HyperX Genesis 8GB (2x4GB) PC3-14900C9 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Gold (HX18C9BGK2/8-OC) which appear to have a much lower profile. The Scythe has a 35mm fin clearance so fingers crossed.
