2nd Build (Need Advice)

[Amosch]

Hey everyone,

So I am toying with the idea of selling my old computer and building a new one. Now that the GTX 1080 just came out and will be a huge jump from my current 770 I figured why not start now. I really wanted something different from my current mid tower case (NZXT Phantom) and decided on the Bitfenix Prodigy M. That being said I have some size concerns for the machine. I made a basic parts list (excluding SSD and HDD since I will take them out of current computer). I was wondering what everyone thought of the parts list? I also have two specific concerns: 1) Whether or not all the parts will fit in the machine 2) If I am over doing the motherboard since I think the case can only support a single GPU.

PSU will need to be changed it is a tier 4 unit very low quality. Tier 1 or 2 will be needed.

Now on to your question. Small form cases are very part specific with a large GPU like the 1080 it might be a better idea to go ATX.
ATX Pcs also seem to be slightly less problematic.

pcpartpicker gave this warning:

The BitFenix Prodigy M Midnight Black MicroATX Mini Tower Case supports video cards up to 320mm long, but video cards over 250mm may block drive bays. Since the Asus GeForce GTX 1080 8GB Founders Edition Video Card is 267mm long, some drive bays may not be usable.

I would not get a small PC unless it was required for some reason or another.
