Hello Fellow tech buddies.

For a long time i've always build these normal ATX based computers.
But now i've decided to build a complete new green theme Micro ATX build with the following components:

Bitfenix Black Prodigy M
Asus Gryphon Z97

Corsair AX860 Platinum

Devils Canyon i7 4790k
Corsair Vengeance 16gb 1600mhz CL9 Ram
Cooler - Corsair H90
Gigabyte Gtx 670 Windforce

Samsung 500gb Evo
1x Spectre Pro Green LED 140mm Rear Exhaust

1x Spectre Pro Green LED 230mm Bottom Intake

 

In the near future i will add 2x Maxwell Gtx 880

All comments and thoughts are highly appreciated.

Picture updates coming later.

which are new parts and which are existing parts?

 

you might need to list out 

 

I can see last gen GPU and a high OP PSU and a AIO cooler in the build

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

To what? Where did you read that "confirmed" information? Please stop spreading rumors, we're still half a year for 2014 to end... and to top it he has a 670 anyways, he can wait(supposing).

 

@Churts Can't wait for the pictures, the spectre pro are beautiful fans.

Be careful when selecting a PSU and GPU in that case. In your list you have a longer-than-normal PSU. Since it is mounted vertically in the front of the case, you will struggle to fit your GPU as the windforce cooler is quite long. Also be prepared to get frustrated with the less-than-adequate cable management (and bad layout) of the Prodigy M. 

Otherwise looks like a solid buld! Can't wait for pictures

My PC:


4670k      GTX 760 ACX      CoolerMaster Hyper 412s      Fractal Design Node 804      G1 Sniper M5      Corsair RM 650      WD Red 1TB     Samsung 840 Evo 120GB

Some of the parts are from my previous Pc yes, the GPU, RAM and SSD.
But i thought they would do just fine in this build?

And considering the Maxwell upgrade, I am not in a hurry.. So therefor i can wait till they will release in the upcoming future. My Gtx 670 handles the 1080p just fine.

the prodigy M has a tight fit with dual GPUs

 

and it will be better to use the stock reference cooler designs

I will be using a reference gpu cooler on the upcoming cards, and hopefully the upcoming Maxwell gpu will be smaller, because of the energy efficiency.

So after i started building my thing i realized that the H90 couldn't fit in the case.. So therefore i returned the item.. And ordered a H80..

I got some pictures of the case of how it looks.

All comments and thoughts are appreciated.

how squeezy was the case with that long PSU?

 

very good cable management you did there

Actually, the PSU wasn't the problem, i think there were like 1 cm between the PSU and the Graphic Card, but i should not get a longer card in the future for sure.. :)

The hardest part was actually to get the I/O Panel to fit.. Cause my Samsung Evo was mounted to it as well.. So the cable management was tight behind there.. :P
