For future reference you can hit the button at the top of Pcpartpicker that has that [bb], copy and paste that into the forum. :D Lets us view the build without going to the site. Now what do you plan on doing with the build? Mostly gaming?

Decent Build! The gpu should be fine but the stock blower style card may be better for temps but it should be fine!

Looks good to me! I don't do a ton of video editing but from what I've read on this forum an i7 and 16gb of ram is fine for that. If it was only gaming I would have to say go with an i5 and 8gb of ram. GPU is fine. I would suggest 1440p 60hz > 1080p 144hz for an 980ti. The higher res will look much better. Plus if you're doing video editing having the extra screen real estate will be nice. What games do you play?

It seems pretty flawless as far as hardware is concerned. Maybe if it's higher end video editing consider X99 rather that Z170, but if your fine with that hardware, try a custom watercooling loop in there. You can fit a bloody lot in that case, especially with a shorter GPU, and I haven't really seen any mITX custom-loop builds so far.

Change the monitor to a 1440p version. You really don't need 144hz 1080p with a 980ti.

The evga variant of the card is a blower style: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-06gp44990kr

 

But the card should be fine, id keep it all same!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't blowers pretty good in ITX? Since they tend to get pretty hot.

oh its beyond my budget the x99 here is too expensive...and I havent seen any x99 itx boards

might watercool in the future but for now is a better choice for me xD
