I've decided on a build, but have found that deciding on cooling options seems to be the most difficult step, especially because I'm building with a Mini-iTx motherboard.

The build is as follows:
Case: Cooler Master Elite 130
MB: Asus Mini-iTx Z87I-PRO
RAM: G.SKILL DDR3 8G PC3-19200
GPU: AMD R-280x
CPU: Intel i5 4670K
PSU: CORSAIR CX600
HD: Samsung 840 Evo SSD 250MB

Now, I am cutting out both an HDD and Optical Drive to create more space, but I do not think that the stock intel coolers and fans will be sufficient for overclocking.

Opinions, suggestions welcome.

Hi konicki, may I know which cooler you are looking for? water cooler or air cooler? Elite 130 case supports CPU cooler up to: 65mm / 2.5 inch in height.

Im interested in overclocking, so water cooling would be ideal. Like i mentioned, i would be foregoing an optical to make more room.
