Hi guy, I'm trying to build a small/portable gaming powerhouse.

Here is my build so far: http://pcpartpicker....C123/saved/37RZ

The two things I'm pretty set on are the SG10 and two 780-TIs.

My guess is that high temperatures are going to be my main concern. If cost really isn't an issue, do you guys have any other recommendations in order for me to keep temps down? Can SLI even be done in a small form factor/Matx build with good temperature control? Im also interested to hear about anyone who has successfully completed Matx build running two cards in SLI and how they managed to control temperatures. Thanks for any help you fellas.

Everything seems cool for what you're going for to be honest. If you're worried about temps on the GPUs, i'd recommend going for a blower-style cooler, as it exhausts heat out of the rear of the case, if you've got decent enough airflow (you should do, dem nocuous. Mmmm) Just remember to aim for a positive pressure inside the case to minimise dust buildup, and thus unwanted heat :D

As for SLI in MATX, it's perfectly doable, and with great temps (great, considering the form factor and such)
