Compatibility with the Colossus mITX?

RandomChimp · April 5, 2016

Just need to know if these parts are all compatible for this tiny bastard of a case?
I think they are, just want other opinions to make sure.

Get the 6700 non K you can't even OC on that board

and why do you need 32gbs of RAM? spend that money on a larger SSD

I probably wouldn't buy the $600 GPU, what's your display? if it's not 1440p 144hz or 4k there's not much reason to go for the high end GPU, maybe just go for the nano, it should be a good deal cheaper.

also be sure to check for reviews on that PSU

and also check out the core 500, it's a bit more of a true ITX case and you can mount a 240mm rad in it for the CPU .the one you have there seemed to have some poor reviews from a quick search and looks pretty big for an ITX case seems like bitfenix does that a lot

Its not mine to have, sadly, it's a friend. Yeah it's 144hz monitor and the case was also their choice hence why I'm asking for the specific case.
I'll change it to the non-K version CPU. The budget is actually extremely high, so I can get a larger SSD, but we were planning just to use it as a boot drive and a few "important" programs.

But is it 1080p or 1440p? pretty large difference, even a 390 will be fine for 1080p 144hz gaming
