Is Mini itx friendly for my first build

RaccoonDude1

The case is pretty spacious so it should be gracious, as mini ITX cases go.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad

you'll be alright. mini ITX becomes a challenge when you're building in something like the SG-13 but even then it's not too bad providing you can keep cables tidy.

as said above that's a pretty spacious mini itx case, so you should be alright.

 

i will say though that your gpu seems to be a 2.5 slot card and your case only has 2 pcie slots. your GPU will either not fit, or the fans will be so close to the power supply basement that it will be choked for air the whole time.

i would seriously suggest that you go for microATX in this build instead. Mini ITX is best suited to blower-style or watercooled cards in cases with power supply basements.

Shoud I keep the borad and just use a mirco atx case

i edited my post after you started replying so you might not have seen but

 

using an undersized motherboard in a case always looks a bit odd. you can save money by moving to micro ATX and to X470/B450 as not only are micro ATX boards cheaper to make in general because tolerances are a little loser and components don't have to be crammed on to every available inch of the board, but motherboards with those chipsets do not need all the extra expensive wiring and shielding an X570 board does, for features you're not actually using in your build from what i can tell.

I swithed to atx

Another drawback of itx boards : you might encounter with problems fitting a beefy cpu cooler, as sometimes the heatpipes or fins will actually interfere with heatsinks on the motherboard. 

 

A friend of mine installed a larger silentiumPC Fortis3 cooler inside a h200 NZXT case, and due to the large dimensions of the fins, he could not add the rear exhaust fan to the case. 

 

Wide heatsinks can also almost touch the backplate of GPU. 

 

I would not recommend itx case with beefy aircoolers and thick Videocards 

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )
