Gotta watch out for heat issuses and cards fitting with other parts when you're on a micro atx. I have one and its a bitch, I don't think i'll ever get a small mobo again. |

Not really worried about overheating, I've got really good ventilation/fans on my case and everything right now. What cards should I worry about not fitting? According to PCPartPicker everything should work together smoothly |

What cards should I worry about not fitting? According to PCPartPicker everything should work together smoothly I didnt check for your build exactly, and if everything fits now (or says it fits), you're fine. It's if you want to upgrade later, having a smaller MoBo could cause problems. For me it was just everything, I wanted a small case so I got a small mobo, then I had heat issues so I got a new CPU fan (which didnt fit) and it was just a big headache. I like to have lots of space in my build for air flow and future upgrades now. |

Might be swapping out that motherboard to get a better one, and the i5-6500 isn't compatible so I switched to the 4460 CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($169.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($98.89 @ OutletPC) Thoughts? |

Just a question, why the aftermarket cooler? You don't have an overclocking board or an unlocked chip, and that CPU will run fine on the included stock cooler. Nothing wrong with that either, the 212 Evo is a very nice cooler. Enjoy your new setup! |

At first I considered getting the 4690k, but decided against it. The other CPU wasn't going to come with a stock cooler and the bundle with the motherboard included the cooler, so I decided why not get it |
