Hi
I just need some little advise for some parts for my build
First question:
Will silverstone sfx 500w PSU will be enough for Asus gtx 970 Turbo

Second Question:
Will Asus GTX 970 Turbo fit inside Cooler Master Elite 130

Third Question:
Will Corsair H60 CPU cooler will be able to reach the front intake of Cooler Master Elite 130

Here are some additional info:
Core i5 6500 CPU
EVO 500GB SSD
G.Skill 8GB DDR4
MSI z170i

THANKS :)
 
1 Yes with the other parts your using.
2 Yes
3 should fit not 100% sure but 99%
4 That case is not made to dissipate that much heat and I never recommend blowing warm air into the case like mounting the CPU cooler in your only intake spot.
5 that case is made for a ATX power supply not SFX
Power Supply Type Standard ATX PS2

6. A mITX is more expensive to build and really not that much smaller than a uATX
 


Oh! So I can't fit an SFX PSU. ATX PSU are too huge and the wires are long as well. Will be difficult to cable manage since its a mini itx.
Know any ATX PSU at 500W with short wires
 


Ok just done some research on low profile cpu cooler.
And here are my options

Coolermaster Gemini II m4
Noctua NH-L9i
Silverstone AR05

Which one do you prefer and if you know any other alternative low profile CPU cooler, let me know as well 😉
 
Solution


Nice. Silverstone SG-05 is perfect

One more question. How will you place the PSU. Take the heat away from the motherboard and exhaust or let the PSU take in fresh air?
