I have to question the point of an expensive cooling solution for a not-very-expensive CPU.  I see a lot of people saying to use AIO coolers for i5s but surely that money would be better spent buying an i7 instead?

 

Either way, to OP:  mATX allows smaller builds but it COULD be more expensive in some cases by a little.  Not much though, depends what's important to you.  With a single GPU it makes no difference pretty much.

 

edit - @utah960 that's a terrible graphics card for a build of the price range.  But it looks like a joke anyway so nevermind ;)

Hi, i'm planning to get a new pc. As this is my first build, i really don't have any experience with pc building and choosing the right parts.

I don't know if i go micro atx or atx. 

My budget is around 1100 dollars.

Can someone help me...

Thanks

my build also includes windows 10 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/G6gVK8

but if over time you want to start overclocking your rig it helps a lot and also if your gonna use this as a work station get a different mobo and like an AMD FX 9590 with is an 8 core monster wit a stock speed of 4.7 ghz  the yes a liquid cooler is needed or at least helpful but mandatory for the 9590  there is one that amd makes that comes with a liquid cooler

i get the reliability but it still wont perform as good as any 240mm cooler, its one of the most expensive 120mm aios and its even more expensive then some 240mm and thats when i question its price especially since its outdated  and has been replaced by the h80igt and the new generation

if hes going for workstation he should go i7 with a cheaper air cooler then a 9590 and a aio

No-one in their right mind would buy an FX-9590 cpu.
