Planning a new Micro ATX build. I'm planning on doing custom water cooling in the future. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Get an MX100 instead of an 840 evo, dominator platinums are over expensive, and RM psus should  be avoided if possible, because of past issues.

if you are going to do custom water cooling you should get a bit higher watt psu 800- 1000 watts should be good for that king of thing

Why? Custom water cooling would only add the extra load of the pump which isn't much.

Same as above re: PSU and RAM. Better PSU, EVGA G2s are great, personal experience. Seasonic makes good PSUs, Fractal Designs does as well, Corsair AX series is great. Corsair Vengeance Pro, Kingston Hyper X Fury, G.Skill Ripjaw X are all good RAM choices. I like the 840 EVO I have, but the CX100 is great value too. Love the case choice, thought about getting it myself but then decided on the NZXT Kraken AIO watercoolers and they wouldn't fit.

Are you going to post your watercooling loop idea in the watercooling subsection? I'm curious what you plan to do in that case, since I didn't get the pleasure of doing that myself.

well including the heavy overclocks that he would probably be doing which would add more volts to the total then he would have extra room for upgrades

Thanks for all the advice!

I shall be posting my watercooling idea, and should also be doing a build log(with lots of pictures) when I get around to it. Feel free to live vicariously through that.
