Excuse me, first of all thanks for helping guys! Its highly appreciated.

Further on to the question, will a Mid Tower case (Fractal Define R5) look empty if I use a mini ITX (Asus Gryphon Z97 with armor) board with only one GPU? or should I just buy a full ATX board and make it look more stuffed-up.. or does the mini ITX looks big inside the case?

Thanks again!

full itx boards are always welcomed .. they give u more space to play with it.. its easier to maintain good looks.. looks doesnt matter if u go for closed version.. and full itx board has more options to play with.. anyways whats the cost of that board..

Generally want to match the motherboard to the case, but occasionally you will see Micro-ATX boards in a mid-tower. ATX boards in a full tower, etc.

You don't often see Mini-ITX boards in a Midtower (Some people will put them in Micro-ATX cases for GPU slots (Hard to find a Mini-ITX case with 3 expansion slots, usually two at most)

As long as you think it will look fine it will be okay. You can use the empty space for all kinds of things.

The Krait gets mixed reviews. It has an interesting color scheme, but doesn't do so well when it comes to overclocking. I've heard whispers of quality control as well, but that may just be related to how many they are selling. A very cheap option for an all white build.
