Does This Build Work With The Corsair 250D?

[Buggu]

I've looked on PCPartPicker and all looks good, but I just wanna be sure.

I wanted to use the Corsair 250D because I might move and many small spaces where my computer would end up are too small for my gigantic NZXT Phantom 630. Even if I don't end up moving, it's so cute!
-Intel i7 4790K (non-OC, stupid choice to buy it)
-Stock Intel cooler
-ASRock Z97E-ITX/ac
-MSI GTX 960 GAMING 4G 4GB
-Crucial MX200 SSD
-Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8GB DDR3 1866
-Corsair RM450
-Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer

Thanks!

It will fit. I've used most of those parts in something at school. I'd upgrade the memory to 2400Mhz. You can overclock to those speeds on that motherboard. and the motherboard, when you get a half decent CPU cooler, can overclock that CPU well.

So you recommend a different cooler? I have most of these parts all ready from my old computer, except the GPU, mobo and case. I have a Corsair H105 but it doesn't work with the 250D, I've heard. Should I get something compact?

Then why not get a case where it does work? The Thermaltake Core V21 will fit it.\ ir the X1 or then Fractal Design Nano S, and I'm not sure about the Cooler Master N200 or N300.

I was just asking about the cooler 'cause I still have the stock Intel heatsink-cooler thingy. I bought it in late May and it's been sitting in the motherboard box ever since. If I use it, should I do the whole thermal-paste-purifier-thing or just do it to the CPU and use the pre-applied thermal paste from the stock cooler?

Use the stock applied paste. I use a lot of stock coolers at school and they do a good job if you do not overclock.

The stock applied paste is from May. Is it still good?

 

[DonkeyOatie]

I have coolers on the shelf for a year and the paste is still good when I put them on, if that's what you mean.
