PC setups/recommendations for them

[Bradster]

Hey forum.

So, in the future I want to build a gaming small form factor PC.

I want to see if this is a good setup or not, so, here it is.

 

Case-Bitfenix Prodigy black (the one with the mesh front)

Motherboard-Asus Maximus VI Impact (it comes with a sound card and wifi and m.2 ssd slot)

CPU-intel core i7 4770k quad core

CPU Cooler-corsair hydro h100i

GPU-EVGA Nvidia geforce GTX 780 FTW

SSD-ztc armor 42mm m.2 64 gb ssd

HDD-seagate barracuda 1TB 7200 rpm

RAM-crucial ballistix sport 16 gb(8x2)

PSU-corsair RM650 650w

Fans-bitfenix spectre 230 mm red led(for the front) and spectre 140 mm(for the back)

-get an H80i because i wouldn't consider the H100 as "small form factor"

-corsair SP120 quiet ed Fans would be better

-EVGA FTW wont do it because it dual fan cooler ,blower fan cooler will do it for your build,the stock one (it performs way less then dual fan cooler though ..)

A 160 mm long psu makes for a very tight fit. You might want to consider a 140 mm long unit like the Silverstone Strider 600W (ST60F-PS), http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/SilverStone-Strider-Plus-600-W-ST60F-PS-Power-Supply-Review/1751 & http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Cases-and-Cooling/SilverStone-Strider-Plus-ST60F-PS-Power-Supply-Review.

 

Get an ssd that is at least 120GB. 64GB is too small to realize the full benefits of using an ssd.

 

A gaming system will not see much of a performance increase using an i7 with 16GB of memory over an i5 with 8GB of memory. Part of the savings going with an i5-4670K and 8GB of memory can be put towards a decent size ssd.

The hard drive bay comes out and there is a perferated side on the case for more airflow, so that is why i got that gpu, but thanks for the recomendation. The hard drive bay part is because 3/5 of them come out to allow more room for the gpu.
