Hi guys this is the first time i post something on this site but i think is full of experts and very helpful people that's why i choose to look for an answer to my question here
Anyway here is the ''problem''. I'm about to build my first computer of my life so I am not sure about what to put in there
After a little research i understood and learned a lot of stuff (especially reading from this site
)
So i decided to make a mini-itx because i don't have a lot of space where i am staying.
I almost forgot, hi i'm Luca and i'm from italy (this was my presentation
)
I am a student at university so i have a small room (that's why i would prefer MINI-ITX or even MICRO-ATX pcs) and i need a pc powerful enough to let me make my projects (i am studying biomedical engeneering and use a lot 3dsmax, autocad, matlab, devcpp, etc...) and they are pretty heavy to handle right now with my laptop. Of course i'd love to play too (most of the time i play on a FullHD screen 60Hz but sometimes i'll have the chance to play with a 4k tv).
So the point of all of this boring text i wrote is: are this parts (link) good enough to let me do all of these stuff perfectly without the need to shake the pc?

i'll be playing a lot epecially after a whole day of study and when i play i want everything to be ultra and full hd, i know that the gtx 780 ti may be an overkill if you meant that in fact i was wondering if a gtx 780 would be good too even in a 4k, i've never tried playind with somethins so defined and i gotta give it a try

I went through it. Everything should fit in the case. I am a little surprised that it does fit. Everything is top notch components. I have the 860 watt version of the power supply, and I can say that it is an excellent power supply.
The two motherboards are very similar, but I am leaning towards the Asus motherboard.

Now that looks better. The default link directed me to a build I had on there previously. Also, the compatibility notes state that the CPU cooler may not fit in the case. A Noctua fan cooler should be good, though.I've watched a video and can tell it fits perfectly, i think corsair made it in purpose to make aenough space for the h100i

Can you explain me why please.
I had the same feeling that the asus z97i plus would be better but i don't know how to answer XD

In general I prefer Asus motherboards to Asrock. Little things like the best motherboard fan controller (Fan Xpert 2). The integrated audio is a high end version.
Sorry the comparison page isn't working. But you can compare them at the Newegg.com page

Sorry but the link is ''broken'' or something, by the way about the fan controller i think i'll use the one with the h100i and if the difference is just the audio i think i will take the cheaper one
