Hi,

I have been collecting some bits for a mini itx build and today finally ordered up the last two parts required (case and motherboard). Can someone with an experienced eye just check over the parts im using will all fit

And that I have not missed anything.

Q6600 processor (wanted a E8400 really)
2 x 2gb 1066 ocz gold ddr2 ram
Zotac GeForce 9300-ITX WiFi Mini-ITX (Socket 775)
Silverstone Sugo SG05B
power colour 4850 play
VelociRaptor 300GB
sony slim line dvd drive ( plus sata cable converter)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (not sure if this will fit but had it laying around anyways)

Also will the FPS 300w power supply be man enough to cope with these compontents do you think?

cheers

I would say you'll be okay, but your 4850 and 65nm quad might make it a close one.

Would a E8400 make much difference do you think? as I was originally after one of them so might sell the Q6600 and get one if it does

I think it would, yes. Either way I don't think you'll have a problem.

Got round to building my minitx rig... really pleased with it and sure packs a punch for its size, none of the coolers I had would fit in the case so I ended up using the low profile intel stock cooler for now. Can anyone recomend a good cooler that will fit in this case and mobo?.

I have also been looking at the following two coolers.I am not 100% sure that they will even fit but they look pretty small,does anyone have experiance with either of these two coolers?:
1) Alpenföhn Panorama 'Low Profile' CPU Cooler
2) Scythe Shuriken HTPC Rev B CPU Cooler
