From what I can see - your build looks pretty solid. I'm not sure which GTX 1070 you're getting, but most ITX builders tend to recommend blower style GPUs (i.e. reference boards/Founders Edition).

I'm more or less in the same boat as you - I have been planning a mini-itx build for at least a month now but have been waiting for the Kaby Lake 7600K (replacement for the 6600K) to launch. Now I have to wait few more weeks for the ASUS Z270i ROG STRIX ITX motherboard to be released as well.

Case wise, the Node 202 is a really popular case. I'm going to go with the NCASE M1, which I just received earlier this month after a 2 month wait. I gotta say, the Dan A4-SFX looks really interesting. But, if you didn't back it on Kickstarter during the campaign, it doesn't look like you'll be able to get one anytime soon - at least a few months. Another really interesting mini-ITX case is the Dr Zaber Sentry (google it!) which is going to be open for ordering starting tomorrow. All three cases - the NCASE M1, Dan A4-SFX and Dr Zaber Sentry, are going to cost substantially more than the Node 202, however.

bro... very interested in seeing your build for ncase m1, possibly to share when it's ready?

just sharing my experience,
my build in rvz02b, using silverstone sfx 450w psu,
the psu fan sound quite loud n sometime got kek kek kek sound, not sure why
better you get sfx-l for the bigger fan and quieter, as some of here suggested.

If you install the 2 static pressure fans at the gpu section, hardly any thermal issue.

Sure thing! However, I'm still waiting on the Z270 ITX motherboards to be released - the final piece in the jigsaw. That might take a couple more weeks from the looks of it.
