oh lol. Im planning out things before i build my computer that ill use. I have $1200 dollars to build my pc. 

That being said, i am thinking of building this small ..... And i want bragging rights so that is why i have a i7

 

Bragging rights? didn't even get the K chip? Nothing to brag about there.

 

sorry not a big AMD fan .. had some problems with my last AMD GPU ... trust me

That sucks, coulda had a better GPU for the same price.

 

Alright so I see what you want, and I've made the build.

You have $$$ to spare, I couldn't really decide on a cooler, so I just threw in the Evo. I say you spend your extra money there. Pick something better than the Evo. The Phanteks case was made with watercooling in mind, you can fit radiators in it no problem.

 

 

Fractal dimensions: 19.29" x 8.27" x 15.55"

 

Phanteks dimensions: 14.70" x 9.00" x 15.50"

 

Do guys ever brag about being smaller? idk, but in this "Case" you can. That's punny right there.
