Please Proof my mITX Gaming Build

[thebirdmanman]

I am building my first Mini ITX computer, and I just want to circulate my component choices to see if anyone has any advice.

I will use this machine for gaming, some photo editing, and casual use. My budget is $1450, and I already have Windows 10, a monitor, and peripherals.

Thanks!

Ya that looks quite nice. I dunno if you could fit a bigger fan in there but if I couldn't I personally would have payed up for liquid, as much as I'd rather have air if it's not 120mm I tend to shy away from it.

Hey - thanks. I considered the CORSAIR Hydro Series H50 120mm Quiet Edition Liquid CPU Cooler but am currently leaning towards the Cryotek M9i since I thought it would provide similar cooling, was a bit cheaper, and avoids spillage risks. What are your thoughts on going for the H50 instead?

spillage risks and price are the reason to pick air, the advantages of an aio are that the heat is exhausted directly out of the case and you don't need to worry about airflow to the CPU for the most part. HOWEVER check that you have has two four pin cooler connectors cause you will need em for this cooler vs. the m9i. It's also noted that 90mm fans are generally louder than 120mm fans because 90mm needs more rpms to have the same cooling performance. It won't be terribly loud but notable.
