A couple questions for a mini-itx build

Shadowcreeper77 · Feb 3, 2016

Hi, I have a few questions about a build I am planning.
PARTS:
Intel Pentium G3258 3.2ghz
ASRock H81M-ITX/WIFI
2x2gb Kingston 1333mhz ddr3 ram
Nividia GeForce 8400GS or 9800GT (I own both)
50-150gb SSD
300-350 watt PSU
SteamOS
CASE: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811128089&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Server+-+Chassis-_-N82E16811128089&gclid=Cj0KEQiAxMG1BRDFmu3P3qjwmeMBEiQAEzSDLm9oyUoiJ2731fEwWlosNUXW4RpLhkhPv0lZaMX-TskaAtrJ8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

1. Is watercooling nesscary for this cpu to reach high oc's (4.4-4.8ghz)
2. Are there any "digital clocks" made for the external drive bays. I would like to ahve this a computer in the living room and want a clock built in.
3. How well can SteamOS handle video streaming, like youtube and netflix
4. Can that hardware stream games from another pc at 1080p
5.Is it possible to put an xbox 360 wireless controller reciever inside the case.
6. Would the case be good?

1. depends on case conig for cooling a air cooler can do just as well however the airflow necessary would be difficult for a itx build so a water cooler might get better results.

2. something like this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA85V3N90131&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Controllers+%2F+Panels+-+etc.-_-9SIA85V3N90131&gclid=CjwKEAiA58a1BRDw6Jan_PLapw8SJABJz-ZWeRnFftY6Y61_NMltpOMpBRehif3HVzj0ZsB663aVixoCD1nw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

3. idk havent used steam os

4. yes it can

5. idk havent tried myself

6. for a clock and water cooling? no.

No, that isn't what I was looking for but whatever, can I still watercool in that case?

only if your creative and willing to cut a hole for a radiator in the side. and if you do go with air it will struggle to stay cool with a heavy oc

Are there any air coolers that would be great for this kind of thing

Shadowcreeper77 :

not really you would need to get alot of air through that tiny case for anything to work very well
