Planning on building this in the next couple of weeks and would love a second opinion before I get going on the parts buying. Right now I've only got the SSD and the GTX770 so I still have some room for change.

CASE: Mountain Mods Bob Slay V2
CPU: Intel i7-4770K 3.5GHz 4-core
CPU COOLER: Noctua NH-L12
GPU: PNY GTX 770 OC 4GB
MOBO: Asus Maximus VI Hero LGA1150 Z87
RAM: 16GB undecided
AUDIO: Creative SoundBlaster Z
STORAGE: Samsung EVO 250GB SSD
STORAGE II: 1TB HDD undecided
PSU: undecided

- Is it crazy to think I will be able to keep this running okay using only air-cooling? Will be installing 120mm fans in all 5 spot available on case. 2 intake and 2 exhaust on top, 1 exhaust on bottom.

- I will be overclocking a bit, but I'm not trying to go crazy or try and push any easy or safe limits here.

- Still can't seem to land on a PSU decision, any suggestions? I was leaning towards modular because of the space.

- Haven't gotten around to making a final selection for the RAM. Anything special about this mobo RAM-wise I'm missing that I can take advantage of?

- This CPU cooler should fit or am I wrong?

Any help for any of these issues would be massively appreciated! THANKS in advance.

Please if you dont have lighting inside then why go for a acrylic case? Get the CM Storm Stryker/ CM HAF(model:912,932 and XM) has very good cooling capabality and ample space for aero as well as liquid coolers. Also a case like that will cause heating issues.

The case is my main concern at this point and the only thing holding me back from feeling like I've gotten everything decided. I really really don't feel like messing with liquid cooling. I really don't have much space and getting something larger would mean much less air clearance for me outside the case. I also need something very minimalistic like the aesthetics of this one. I'm just super worried this case can't handle cooling the cpu given it's size. Anyone have any experience with a setup like this in a sff type of case??
