Hey guys, I am building my first build. Want to stick to this case. These are the components, see if these hold good both size wise and efficiency wise.
Silverstone Raven RVZ01
Silverstone SFX 450w modular psu 80+gold
Cooler master hyper 212x cooler
Gigabyte ga h97n mini itx mobo
Intel i3 3.5ghz 4150
Transcend ddr3 2x4 gb 1333
Transcend 128gb ssd
Seagate 500gb hdd 3.5inch
zotac nvidia gtx660 2gb /sapphire amd r9 270 2gb oc/galaxy nvidia gtx750ti 2gb oc
Also if possible want to add water cooling. Any ideas?

nix the power supply, if your wanting the case becuase the power supply is included, re consider. 450W is not much, and Silverstone doesnt make PSU's to brag about. a 270x you want a 550W psu from a quality manufacture like Seasonic, XFX, Antec, Corsair, or EVGA. i would take any of those before the silverstone. even if 450W is *enough* the PSU will die sooner running so close to full load all the time, it wears the capacitors out quickly and eventually you run the risk of failure of the PSU and potentially other components (thats why we like overhead with PSU wattage and amperage, if keeps the PSU happy running at around 50-60% of its full capacity when under load. )
