no but you did put a xeon of an overclocking focused board with RAM that runs at a pointless speed, poor parts choice and the fact that you never intended to build this means that you shouldn't have even posted it in the build logs section or even on the forum.

because that's a competition, you're doing a build list for the lulz thing but it isn't even slightly any good. If you're going to do a super high budget  build like this the least you could do is have it make some sense instead of making some daft parts list with a bunch of big number parts.

For fun I've been sketching a case that would allow the following specs while being smaller than almost every other mITX case.

 

EVGA Z87 Stinger

i7 4770k

Which ever GPU I can fit. 880, 780Ti, I don't know..

2x Corsair H105's

2x8Gb lowest profile RAM I can find

Silverstone SFX ST45SF-G (or the upcoming 600W version)  <--Stop using typical ATX form factor PSUs in ITX builds please.

Samsung 840Evo 250Gb

Custom case.Expected dimensions: <30 x <30 x 13cm.

 

Not sure if it would work due to temperatures possibly getting too high under load.

Kraken g10 and some water coolers

Yeah that was the idea. H105 and Kraken G10 on the GPU, H105 on the CPU. The temperature problem I mentioned was that the GPU H105 is the only intake, and the CPU H105 is the outtake. I wanted there to be only a single front intake and a single outtake with no superfluous watercooling grommets or grills or mesh on the side. So airflow would be limited to entering through the GPU H105 only, and if the GPU gets too hot, the PSU and motherboard and CPU H105 would be cooled by hot air. So I'm not convinced it would work.
