Drop the cooler and get an H110 motherboard.

 

[Dropment]

and use the intel cooler?

 

[Dropment]

is there a difference between micro atx and atx not just size

 

[Lookin4Info]

I'd keep the cooler. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Hard+Drives-_-N82E16822236339&gclid=CjwKEAiA1ITCBRDO-oLA-q_n8xYSJADjBQfGZVxOpgDgvRIQAboUnm45e9EEjnfRTb6-ppCdh8fkjhoCtwjw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds That hard drive costs less and usually Western Digital HDDs are most reliable than Seagates.

i was looking to get a sshd instead of an hd

 

[Hellfire13]

Cheaper and more optimized. Use the SSD for OS, will make your pc faster.

I wouldn't get an SSD in place of a HDD. You would be spending hundreds of dollars more to match that 1TB space. Also some SSDs usually don't last as long as a HDD.

 

[Dropment]

im looking for an atx mid tower also so i can have more space and air flow

 

[Chugalug_]

There's no point, just because the case is bigger it doesn't mean that there will be any benefit in terms of airflow, or if it is even needed.
My above build gives you plenty of cooling, and a separate HDD and SSSD.
An SSD will give next to no benefit to stuff apart from OS and software, and will give a significantly faster dedicated speed compared to a hybrid drive, hence why SSHDs aren't recommended.

 

[Dropment]

if the ssd is only for os and sofware can i lower it to 120 gb

 

[Chugalug_]

No, 240GB is what I would call a must have, 120GB can only store the OS, even then it can barely fit.
It is a very poor value investment.
Trust me, just go with this.

[Dropment]

and also do you need a cooler like the cooler master evo 212 or the stock intel cooler or not

 

[Chugalug_]

No, the stock intel cooler is fine.

 

[Hellfire13]

The build i have mentioned has everything optimized at the cheapest you can get. The SSD is more or less essential these days for faster load times and overall functioning of your pc. And the processors mentioned in these builds are locked and comes with stock coolers which are plenty to keep them cool.

how does this build look

 

[Chugalug_]

Looks good, but you can spend less on the PSU given the low voltage draw of the system.
The 6GB 1060 will also perform much better, especially with a desktop cooler over an ITX variant.

[Dropment]

does it matter if i use a atx psu

 

[Chugalug_]

No, the only time you want to get anything smaller than an ATX PSU is an SFX PSU for those really tiny ITX cases.

 

[Hellfire13]

You can still get a 1060 6gb instead of 3gb, which is a more powerful card.

couldn't find a low cost psu

 

[Chugalug_]

The Glacier is a solid unit, and what I would recommend with this system given the value, but the Quark is a great unit, and is fully modular.

 

[Dropment]

i don't really plan on building my own but have someone do it for me

 

[Dropment]

this my first pc and i really don't want to mess it up
