I was putting together this kind of beast. 

 

CPU:  Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($293.33 @ Amazon) 

CPU Cooler:  Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM CPU Cooler  ($77.90 @ Amazon) 

Motherboard:  Asus MAXIMUS VI IMPACT Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($223.98 @ SuperBiiz) 

Memory:  Kingston Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($139.99 @ Amazon) 

Storage:  Samsung 840 EVO 500GB 2.5" Solid State Disk  ($301.99 @ Amazon) 

Storage:  Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  ($88.98 @ OutletPC) 

Video Card:  XFX Radeon R9 290 4GB Video Card  ($505.98 @ SuperBiiz) 

Case:  BitFenix Prodigy (Orange) Mini ITX Tower Case  ($74.75 @ OutletPC) 


Total: $1889.88

 

Does everything fit together and is there something I could change for better performance and/or cheaper price? That's still almost 700 $ cheaper than in Finland.

PSU is overkill for a single GPU system

True. H60 might be simpler.

Instead of a H60 would a H80i fit cause H60's are quite average

NH-D14 is definitely not going to fit in the prodigy. Go with an H80i, I don't normally suggest them but it's better here. That PSU also won't fit and I also don't suggest that GPU in the Prodigy.

It fits perfectly fine...

The psu fits just fine. It'd just be a waste of a psu with such a high wattage for an itx build.

 

@MikkoP What's the system being used for?
