Hi,
This is my first mini ITX build.
I have a list of what I would like it buy and would like a little help in assuring if the spec needs altering at all? (I`m open to any changes).
(sorry, dont know how to get the "show basket" link thing up) So: -

I would like the case to be water cooled. Not sure if the fan Ive specced could eventually link to my GPU at all?

Most importantly I want a Quiet PC...


Intel 4820K 3.70GHz (Ivybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor - Retail
MSI Z97I AC Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard
G.Skill TridentX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C10 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Corsair Hydro H100i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Silverstone Strider Gold Series - 550 Watt
Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter
Corsair Obsidian Series 250D Mini ITX Compact Gaming Case - Black

(I already have a 3.5" drive and an optical drive that I want to fit in the case)
 
Ok, swapped the cpu.

Intel Core i7-4790K 4.00GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor - OEM
MSI Z97I AC Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard
G.Skill TridentX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C10 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit
EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Corsair Hydro H100i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Silverstone Strider Gold Series - 550 Watt
Crucial MX100 256GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter
Corsair Obsidian Series 250D Mini ITX Compact Gaming Case - Black

I'm restricted on height a little, that's why I went with the shorter corsair.
I also need an optical drive bay...

Oh god yes, it is crazy all these "mITX" cases with 2 slots are really about mATX size... Maybe it is just me & you cause you said that, anyway a mITX case should be around Element Q size... If they made it a little higher & with 2 slots I would have this GPU in a mITX board in that case...
Click to expand...

I would like a little smaller case (because Ive got really limited room), but I was thinking the dual 120mm radiator fan was a must for the space you get in a mini ITX case. Would a single 120mm water cooled fan suffice this set up?

I also must have an internal optical drive (5.25" as I have already BR R/W drive to fit) optical drive.
