cooler master 110 gpu options

[andy2402]

Hi all

I am potentially going to complete a Mini itx build for gaming

My first choice for the case is the cm Elite 110 , followed by the 130

Re the 110, Which GPU can fit into here, Do any of the r9 280 and above fit? My first choice would be GTX 970 Do these fit (Full size version) also i Know there is a Mini itx 970, does this card have lower performance than the larger version?

Basically i want to Know what mid/high end GPU options i have for the 110

Another question is am i better with a haswell cpu as they Run cooler,instead of the am3+ chip

Cooling on the 110 doesnt look the best, anybody have experience and can help me choose?

Not a lot of AM3+ Mini ITX to pick from. If you are getting a GPU, you are better going with Intel for Mini.

I have the 130, it's not the best for cooling. The intake fans on the front are covered, but you can custom fit an H80 in there, which may work and free up some space.

It can hold a full size, dual slot GPU but the fan will starve for air.
