Hey all,

I was wondering if this build would be actually possible.. PCpartpicker didnt show any problems but Im wondering about over heating and the likes.. And I thought it would be a too small of a case to fit that many things in it.. But PCpartpicker says its fine.. Is it?

PCPartPicker part list: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/205DU

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($264.00 @ PCCaseGear)
Motherboard: ASRock B75M R2.0 Micro ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($69.00 @ PCCaseGear)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($109.00 @ PCCaseGear)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($69.00 @ PCCaseGear)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Video Card ($649.00 @ PCCaseGear)

Total: $1478.00


Please note:
I live in Australia. I would like to get all my items from one specific shop, PCCaseGear.
My first budget was higher with about 2000$ but if I can make this thing pop for much less (600$) Ill be happy..

Edit: I just figured I didnt put any fans.. How many and how big of fans would fit in this build?

Please share what you think.. Thank you!

This won't help your budget any but I will suggest getting at least a 500W PSU since it appears you intend to overclock... or you would if you had a Z77 mobo??? Why not a Z77 motherboard there?
You can mount up to four 80mm fans on the side (I'd imagine they would need to be thin). The fan filter that comes with the case is 140mm but I don't see any fan mounts at the top so I can't say what's going on there

That case only support low profile expansion cards, so the 780 won't fit in it. However, with some modifications the 780 would maybe fit but that isn't recommended. There are cases similar to the ML04B that support full size expansions cards, like the Fractal Design Node 605 or the Grandia Series from Silverstone, keep in mind that these cases are bigger.
