My build will consist of the following:

4770K
780 TI Reference
16GB Memory
Asus Maximus Impact
256 Plextor SSD
700 W Cooler Master Vanguard GoldPSU
A slim CPU water cooler ( Dont have yet still planning)
Cooler Master Elite 130 Case

Now, at the same time, I bought a FT 03 Mini for a project of mine. I want to fit all of the above in this case.

Can anybody tell me or give me a hint if my PSU will fit in this case (Modding Considered). My PSU is bigger than standard PSUs so Im a bit concerned, ( I know SFX PSU is recommended but I really want to fit my PSU in there :D  I wont be using the HDD bracket and ODD so I think it is possible. I just dont know where and how to start

I have searched and searched but I didnt find anything that can help me,

If it is possible, do you have ideas on how I can do it?

Also as for the 780 TI, It wont fit without modifications. Im thinking of just cutting the bottom of the case where it will come out. Can anyone tell me the best tool to do this?


Last Question:

Any good SFX powersupplies out there with 450W + Gold Rated status? I'm quite in doubt if the Silverstone Gold 450 PSU will be able to power a midly overclocked 4770k and overclocked 780TI
so im in need right here of a bigger PSU :D 

Thanks in advance

i think your psu choice won't fit even with major modifications to the case. even you were able to do so you'd still have huge problems with cable routing. The Silverstone sfx gold psu should be able to handle the 4770k and the 780 Ti unless you do not overclock at all. hope this helps!

EDIT: actually there is some one who build a 650w PSU in his FT03-mini http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1nn1yk/bulid_...
