what CPU will you use? I mean, pointless to go SFF if the cooling system needs to be large to surpress the hot X299 CPUs.

CPU: i7-2600K 4751MHz 1.44V (software) --> 1.47V at the back of the socket Motherboard: Asrock Z77 Extreme4 (BCLK: 103.3MHz) CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 RAM: Adata XPG 2x8GB DDR3 (XMP: 2133MHz 10-11-11-30 CR2, custom: 2203MHz 10-11-10-26 CR1 tRFC:230 tREFI:14000) GPU: Asus GTX 1070 Dual (Super Jetstream vbios, +70(2025-2088MHz)/+400(8.8Gbps)) SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 256GB (main boot drive), Transcend SSD370 128GB PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold Case: Antec P110 Silent, 5 intakes 1 exhaust Monitor: AOC G2460PF 1080p 144Hz (150Hz max w/ DP, 121Hz max w/ HDMI) TN panel Keyboard: Logitech G610 Orion (Cherry MX Blue) with SteelSeries Apex M260 keycaps Mouse: BenQ Zowie FK1

the CPU I haven't picked most likely one of the I7 models its more about the features of the platform and my curiosity is their a point to x299 now or did it loose its market with the release of coffee lake and ryzen 2 and are they better choices because im not looking to get into a platform intel isn't going to move forward with new CPUs. as far as cooling it was going to get water cooled. and the formfactor is a sticking point to me it has to fit on my desk where my OptiPlex 7040 MT lays down so I was planning a node 202 or similar small case that is horizontal just have to nail down the platform I want to work with for the next 5-10 years.
