  1. I kinda want to stay smaller; matx is preferable. If I want to stay on air, is there any matx case you guys would reccomend? Edit: my bad, the h18 is matx, thanks for the suggestion
  2. Hey, I am building a new PC for productivity and gaming, and I have some worries about thermals. I want to build around the 8700k, and am considering pairing it with a 1070ti. Small form factor is a must for my uses, but it doesn't have to be too tiny; just no monster rigs. I love the aesthetic of the Enthoo Evolv matx tempered glass case, so I was hoping to build in that. In terms of cooling, I wanted to go with either the Noctua NH-D15 or Dark Rock Pro 3 or 4 (which surprisingly, to me, actually fit height-wise). I want to do some overclocking, but nothing too insane; maybe 4.4, 4.5 GHz. I am currently planning on building on the EVGA - Z370 Micro ATX Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard, but am open to any suggestions there. I want to stay air cooled if possible, but I guess that's my question: Do you think there will be thermal problems in this case with what I plan? I am unsure about exactly what I want to do in regards to case-fans, but I assume 2 140mm high SP fans in the front, and two 140mm AF fans in the back/top. I'd appreciate any suggestions there as well. My total budget is around 2000 USD, but is somewhat flexible (give or take a few hundred). Here's a link to a PC Part Picker list, I know the RAM will likely have clearance issues, so that's not final as of now; its still a rough sketch. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZjdXyX ; By the way, I have a 4k monitor on the list. For productivity would you recommend that or an ultrawide 1440p? Oh, and I already have a 600 W power supply. Thanks for any input.
