Proposed SFF build

[amvoith]

Proposed Parts for a custom water cooled SSF build. Will be using this mostly for gaming and will be overclocking. Using a few parts from a previous build. Prices are CAD.

 

Case: Fractal Design Node 304 - http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=6_110&item_id=057560 - $129.99

CPU: Intel i7 6700k - http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=4_1210_65&item_id=086205 - $529.00

Motherboard: Asus ROG Maximus VIII Impact - http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=26_1207_1206_1460&item_id=090003 - $324.00

PSU: Silverstone 600W 80+ Silver - http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00A460TGA/?tag=pcp0f-20 - $241.27 (incl Shipping) - Need  max 140mm long PSU to accommodate long graphics card and radiator. 

 

Total price = 1224.26 + tax

 

GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SSC FTW ACX 2.0 - Already Own

Storage: 2 x 128GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD - Already Own

RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz - Already Own

 

CPU cooler will be custom watercooled, aswell as GPU - Already own the blocks, fittings, etc. will just need to get 2 x rads, DDC pump, slim fans.

 

Let me know what you guys think, any suggestions are welcome.

Where are you going to put the radiators?

[amvoith]

A dual 92mm in the front and a 120 or 140mm in the rear. Here is the example I'm going off for the rads.

Well it's totally not worth it as far as performance per dollar is concerned, also I can't imagine doing a custom loop in an ITX case is going to be easy

Also check out the Elite 130 case, it takes basically any PSU and length of GPU

Looking into other cases. Now that I think more about it the node 304 is probably a bit too small. Looking into the EVGA hadron perhaps. Any other advice? Basically I'm looking to do a high end build in a small case and then just use previous water cooling parts for over clocking

Well pretty much any iTX case big enough to handle custom water cooling effective is going to be about as big as a microATX case, and is there any real need to overclock? if you're just gaming on a 60hz display you won't really notice any difference.

I've got a 144hz setup. Can't go back to 60 lol. I'll have to look around and do bit more research on cases
