FT-03 Mini Build

[anonym]

Am thinking of building a new rig using the Silverstone FT-03 Mini and would like to seek your thoughts on the set-up.

CPU/Mobo: i5-4570 + Asus Z87I-Deluxe or Asus Maximus Impact? --- Any recommendations on the Mobo? A budget option would be MSI or Gigabyte?
RAM: G.Skill Ripjawsx 1600mhz 2x 4GB
GFX: Prefer a GTX 770. Any recommendations and will it fit in? I heard that 10inches is the limit here. Also saw somewhere that a blower style cooler will be better for small cases like the FT-03 Mini?
PSU: Silverstone SFX PSU. Is 450W enough or should I go for the new 600w one
SSD: 256GB Samsung Evo? Is OCZ or Plextor better?
HDD: WD Blue 1 TB
Case: FT-03 Mini of course...

Will also be getting a custom CPU cooler, either Zalman or Noctua one to save space on the stock cooler since it is a small case.

Please let me know your thoughts and thanks! Planning to set up this rig next week over the hols.

go look at mitx gpus.. msi has a few under their "gaming" line. i think theres a 760 in there. anw 10 inches isnt that short.. some regular twin coolers might still be able to fit

CPU/mobo : if you r not overclocking, get a msiH81i
gpu : msi gaming gtx770 can fit inside sg05 without modding.
as ft03mini is a vertical sg05, no problem with this gpu
psu:sfx450w gold no problem to handle a gtx770
i am running a r9 290 with this psu too

Thanks Fanfreak...

Hows the MSI Mobo? Was thinking of getting something with a better onboard sound since no space to slot in a sound card...

Do you think a blower style cooler is more suitable here?
