MATX - VR Build

Hey guys, does this look ok? Only thing I might do is swap out the RAM for 16GB.

Will all that fit in the case?

Thanks

looks like it should fit

my only concern is the length of the graphics card and PSU but it looks like they'll be OK.

Just to add, kingbal - this is what happens when you fit a 240mm rad in the Prodigy M:




It blocks the remaining PCI-E slots, plus you either get hot GPU air going into rad, or hot rad air going into GPU.

At which point, you'd find that the airflow in a Prodigy Mini-ITX which has a different interior layout, would be preferable.

Wow, seriously useful pic - thanks, I'll check out that case.

I've only built one machine previously and used a full ATX board - are the mini-itx boards suitable for gaming machines? (I suspect so)

I guess I could just get an air cooler instead of the H100.
