Hey there. I would like some help in my build.
I am looking to build my 1st Mini Itx build, and I have an idea of the sort of components id like to fit in the build, my questions will be can it fit?, will I have enough power? will it last me for say 3 years?
I am in the UK and I guess I don't want to spend more than £2000
I would like to overclock if I need to.
I will use the build for gaming, I will want to run the lastest games such as crisis 3 of Battlefield 3 and 4 when it comes out, on the best possible settings.
and design packages for work, for example AutoCAD, PDMS, Microstation and Smartplant.
I want to use 2x or maybe 3x screens at 1080p minimum.
I will buy my products from scan.co.uk ebuyer.com overclockers.co.uk aria.co.uk

This is the list of Components I would like to use
Bitfenix Prodigy
Intel i7 4770k unlocked haswell CPU
Asus maximum VI Impact itx board
Corsair 16gb (2x8gb) ddr3 Dominator Platinum (2400mhz)
120GB Kingston ssdNow V300, 2.5" Slim 7mm SSD SATA 6GB/s - Main Drive
3TB Toshiba DT01ACA300 3.5" SATA III Hard Drive 6Gb/s - storage drive
Corsair H100i Hydro Series CPU Cooler
120mm Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition, High Pressure, 1450rpm x 2
For GPU on my mind is either Nvidia GTX 780 or AMD R9 290X.
The Psu will need to run all of that with an overclock, and the GPU and fit in the case too.

Can you please tell me whats the highest wattage power supply I can fit?
Also what GPU will be better considering the small form factor, heat, power and noise
I haven't included screens but will be open to suggestions once the build is sorted out first.

If you can help me

i'd reccomend a bitfenix prodighy or a phenom as they can fit full atx psu's. They're bigger than alot of mitx cases though. the gtx 780 will be better due to lower power consumption and much lower temps. If you decide to go matx the corsair 350d and a asus maximus VI gene is a good idea.

You can't use an H100i in an mITX case due to space constraints. This is what I would do:
