You can with a mico atx case but I would definitely go the route of air cooling

 

I know that you easily double the performance, and that is the reason i go this time for Pc.

You are right mate, for now is more then enough 780 so in a year or so when i need second one i can easily add. Question is do i really need water cooling?

I mean mobility is very important for me, because in a year i live in 3 different countries and wish to bring my Pc with me, just in very place have another monitor that is all.

So next question is, do i need water cooling or not? Thanks guys!

Anyone have experience with Silverstone SUGO SG09?

That is definitely the size that i like and look it have great airflow?

There is no way to put a good AiO watercooler in that case. Other than that it is pretty good, but the price...and it can't match the 350D.

Where is the CPU cooler? And Cooler Master PSUs aren't very good, pick a gold certified 750/850W from Seasonic or Corsair.

ALSO YOU WON'T FIT THAT BOARD. YOU NEED G1 SNIPER M5, but Asus Maximus VI Gene is good too.

Thanks mate yeah i made mistake with board so its go g1 sniper m5 and cost 170e , so price is even less for 240e. The psu i can change for Corsair Ax760 80plus Platinum?

Its the same price like Cooler Master.

Definitely yes, it is a beast of a PSU. What about the CPU cooler?

This is what they offer here,  http://www.pcexpansion.es/refrigeradores.php

i was thinking maybe Cooler CPU THERMALTAKE Frio Extreme  But it has 2 fans and i don't believe both will fit in because of ram memory?

Do you think there is better choice?

I wish something with around 25dba , but i will overclock the cpu and in that small case i need something good to cool down the cpu right?

I think that Corsai. H90 will fit, and you can replace the fan for a silent one with high static pressure, the H80i is an option too.

Those are water cooling, so you would definitely go for water cooling right?

When you have that much money to spend it is better to go watercooling, but custom loop isn't necessary, this will cool better than air cooler and you won't run into any space issues which are likely to happen with air coolers on a small motherboard.

I recommend getting a good thermal compound like the Arctic MX-4, those in the box arere usually shitty. Also if you do a test run with stock heatsink to see if all components are alive on arrival, don't forget to buy 99% Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the old thermal compound. I also recommend watching Linus' Ultimate builds if you didn't do that yet. Happy Building!

I saw couple of videos and couple of photos of guys who built similar setup, and look like radiator from H90 is to big for fitting the Gpu later on, not to talk about 2 gpu's what i planning to do one day when one is not enough anymore.  This is the foto with H60 radiator, and its for  20mm shorter then H90., guy had to use pci slot 3 for his gpu to fit the liquid cooling in.

I;ll check if there is any liquid cooling system with shorter radiator.

Silverstone has made a fine small form factor but quite proprietary tn a clean cable management build,  best review and build I found

Yes thanks a lot for links i saw them last night. I was awake long time watching videos of that guy, hes awesome! I think i go for air cooling, because radiators for water cooling are to large for that case so Sli or Crossfire setup is no an option in case of water cooling.

Agree..but it really depends on how you live your life
