mini-ITX build vs ATX build

[Daniel Nagy]

Hi guys!

I would like to know, before I buy the following build if there is any disadvantage of having the mini-ITX build over an ATX build.
Just to be clear, I really don't want to OC the system, but as far as i know, this MOBO is capable to do some. I've checked the parts, everything fits nicely into the choosen case so that wouldn't be the problem, I'm more worried about the performace loss if there is any with the motherboard.

Can anyone confirm my thoughts here?
Does anyone have a build like this who have some experience?

The build:
ASUS GTX780-DC2OC-3GD5 GTX780 3GB GDDR5 OC PCIE + Daylight
CORSAIR 8GB Vengeance Low Profile DDR3 1600MHz CL9 KIT CML8GX3M2A1600C9
CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i
CORSAIR Obsidian Series 250D
INTEL Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz 1150 BOX
MSI Z87I Gaming AC
SAMSUNG 120GB SATA3 2.5" 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW
SEAGATE 1TB Barracuda 7200.14 7200rpm 64MB SATA3 ST1000DM003
SEASONIC M12II 750W

Thank you!

Performance comes from what you put into it and what you want to put into it is very good,i mean cpu+gpu.

The psu is probably overkill,with a 550watt should you already have enough,no more than 650watt is needed for sure.

For the gpu could you also look at the r9 290(X),but maybe you want "nvidia shadowplay".

I would go for the next motherboard which has the same price via the pcpartpicker,

it has a 12+2 DIGI+ VRM which will be good for overclocking and it has also more system fanheaders which will help with the number of fans you want to put into the system.

Thanks!

The problem is, in the shop where I will get all the parts, doesnt have DELUXE.
They have the MAXIMUS VI IMPACT, z87i-pro, q87t, H87I-PLUS and H87I-PLUS.

 

[Daniel Nagy]

Should I go with the maximus then? There is no EVGA either in the shop. Or if the fanheaders are enough for the H100i's two fans and the front built-in fan from the case, then it wouldn't be a problem imo. FYI the H100i's fan power cables are SATA powered ones.

z87i-pro

This has about all the same features as the DeLuxe.I would get this one.

Thanks!

But first I will have to contact Corsair, because that motherboard have a massive heatsink for the VRM where the H100i would go. http://images.bit-tech.net/content_images/2013/08/asus-z87i-pro-review/asus-z87i-pro-1-1280x1024.jpg

So this mobo is still a questionmark! But thanks for the help!

It looks like they used a similar type of motherboard for their shots,

You are right, yes. There is a little space left there. Thank you!
I've just sent the "ticket" to them because of the heatsink of the VGA and the motherboard.

Thank you again for the help!

You could always wait for the answer to be sure. 😉

And your welcome.😀

Yeah I will, I have time because I will buy the build in April's first week.
