So, I am planning on building a Mini-ITX computer using the Asus Impact! The case I will be using is the Cooler Master Elite 130 because I wanted an optical drive. The processor I will be using is a Intel 4670k and I would love to give it a slight overclock (nothing above 4.0). So, I have a main question here for anyone who owns this case or might possibly know the answer. Since the power supply hangs right over the CPU socket on this case, what is the most effective air heatsink I can use with this case that will fit? I know this case can only fit a select few heatsinks due to the way it was designed. I do not want to use liquid or water cooling at all. The case dimensions are 9.4" x 8.1" x 14.9" and I am using low profile RAM. I will link below every product I'm using in this setup via newegg.

To sum it up I am looking for a strong air (not liquid) heatsink that will properly cool a 4670k while playing games that will fit inside the Cooler Master Elite 130.

Any recommendations for heatsinks that would fit this case will be much appreciated.

I have built a similar configuration with this

CPU Cooler:1 x Prolimatech PRO-SAM17 Samuel 17 CPU Cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
CPU Fan:1 x GELID Solutions FN-PX12-15 120mm Case cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

This configuration fits perfectly the Maximus VI Impact and LP memory

I put the PSU on a pull configuration
