Linus' Ultimate Compact build

[evanw2]

I am in the process of building this computer and was just wondering if anybody knew any good alternatives to the ram and gpu. I am thinkning about doing dual gtx 980's but because the case is so small im not sure if they will fit. Same with the RAM. Looks pretty tight when he puts the cpu cooler in. Psu suggestions are totally welcome to. Anyways let me know guys! Thanks!

Are you doing ITX or M-ATX?

[blackadder]

There is a half size 970,but it gets much hotter.

I will be using the Gigabyte G1 Sniper M5 so M-Atx

[evanw2]

Core™ i7-4790K Processor, 4.00GHz w/ 8MB Cache
RipjawsX Series 16GB PC3-12800 Dual Channel DDR3
GeForce GTX 980 SuperClocked 4GB
Phenom M mATX Case, White
Gigabyte S.1150 Intel Z87 Uatx
SSD 530 Series SATA III Solid State Drive, 240GB

This is what i have, excluding the PSU and other cooling

I would go for the EVGA G2 750W for the PSU. The Phenom is a huge case (for sff anyway), so you'll be fine with dual 980 SC.

About RAM: Which cpu cooler are you considering? Check out the G.Skill Ares or some Corsair LP.

I was just gonna use the cpu cooler he has in the video. Its a tough one to get a hold of but i have seen linus use it before so i guess its good. Its the BeQuiet! Shadow Rock 2
