Is this too optimistic?

Hey,

In the next 6 months I am planning to do a watercooled Parvum build. DO you think that this is being a bit hopeful for me to be able to achieve as I have only ever built my own computer once (but built it in two cases, in a 650D and haf 912). I wonder whether it would be better to wc in a full tower first. The reason I like the idea of a micro atx is that its compact, and would have everything I need, as I only want one gpu (my current 690).

Thoughts would be much appreciated, thanks.

Received my Parvum the other day, and they are even sexier in the flesh than they are in the pictures. I have never built my own PC before, but it has gone swimmingly so far - just need AMD to release the 290 so I can finish it off. The only problem I've had with the build is a software one - my Windows 8.1 trial doesn't want to install, for some reason.

But anyway, the case itself is easy enough to assemble, and there is plenty of room inside considering it's an mATX.

I plan on watercooling some time before Christmas (hopefully). Obviously it would be easier in a larger case, but the way I see it, dipping my toes in the water for the first time is going to be daunting anyway. Might as well jump straight in.
