Case and ram info, please. LGA115x sockets all use same mounting hardware so there's plenty of choice. Case and RAM will limit you, maybe mobo too if you are using mITX or mATX board.

case is the s430 elite. I have not yet selected ram...I'm currently still in the build/buying process. Actually, if you have a suggestion on ram I'd love to get some advice. 

What cpu are you cooling? If you're still planning, it'd be better to plan it as a whole in the New Builds and Planning subforum instead of breaking apart the discussion. https://linustechtips.com/main/forum/18-new-builds-and-planning/

 

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/
Also, make sure to quote a post or tag a member when replying or else they won't get a notification that you replied to them.

I'm waiting for the 8th gen I5 to be available....whenever that may be...unfortunately that is why I'm chunking up this discussion 

Are you going to OC? From memory S430 limits height to 160mm. Which is still fine for most midrange coolers if you use normal or low-profile RAM (like Vengeance LPX, HyperX Fury and Savage, Ripjaws, maybe Trident Z). If you go for something taller, it might limit use of some coolers that hang over RAM slots.
