I'm going to switch case, from a big tower to a mini ITX. But im not sure what mini motherboard i should have. Im thinking about the generation of the other components so i just want a mini motherboard that is working with my other components. Would my corsair H60 be able to fit in the mini ITX case? Also if a normal sized PSU and GPU fits in this model, here is my component list:
gtx 770 gainward
hyperx beast 2x4 gb 2133 mhz.
500 gb SSHD.
Corsair cx750m (psu)
i5 - 3670k
Corsair H60
Thanks in advance
 


As far as the H60 goes, it will fit not on the rear 120mm fan mount as the metal on the top will block the rad from fitting properly, but it will fit on one of the 120mm fan mounts to the right of the case (this is where my 240mm rad is mounted), and if you think this case might be to small for anything, let me tell you my specs, its kinda insane what i managed with this little thing,

I have the corsair 380t as well (yellow)
i7 4790k water cooled with the thermeltake water 3.0 240mm rad
asrock z87 extreme itx motherboard
corsair dominator pro 2x4gb 2133mhz ram
GTX 980 (evga superclocked) liquid cooled with a thermeltake water 3.0 120mm rad and nxt kraken g10 mount
corsair RM650 fully modular psu
128gb Samsung 850 pro ssd with 1tb gaming hard drive
6 fans! push pull 120mm on GPU cooling, two 120mm fans on cpu cooling, 200mm coolermaster mega flow front fan, and rear 120mm fan, also one more fan on nzxt kraken vrm cooling!

Its insane i got all this in here, i had to do one modification to get the 120mm rad mounted on the front but it works great!

Mini itx for life

Edit: The gtx 770 gainward will fit in the case just fine, i was shocked myself when i got an r9 290x sapphire vapor x edition to fit in here, i had like 3mm left of space.. lol

Oh and for $95 you can get the thermeltake water 3.0 extreme 240mm for the cpu, its really nice for the price, uses an astek design (which is the best)

Everything in your build looks perfect, what motherboard are you thinking about?
 


Hey!
I have an extremely similar build to yours... I'm using the Corsair h100i instead (which I slapped 2 Noctua 3000 rpm fans on in place of the stock ones.. hehe), but it's still a 240mm cpu cooler, etc., and I've only got a 970 which is air cooled, and that's the source of my question for you...
I'm looking to go with a 980ti (or, if AMD's HBM cards look good, and they release a dual gpu on one pcb card, similar to the 295x2, I might cough up for one of those), and I'm going to go with a 120mm rad for it...
Where'd you mount it?
I've been thinking about how to do this myself... did you just throw it on behind your front intake fans?
Any pictures or explanations would be great!

Also... gotta say, this case is awesome. It can be a pain getting everything set up, but once you've worked out your cable management... it just looks incredible, and it fits everything in such a compact package.
 


Since it's 3. generation ITX motherboard, then it's rare for me to get one, since I live in Denmark EU. But I found one motherboard.
