Are you building this or buying a prebuilt system?

If building, find a highly rated board with a Z97 chipset. Then, just add components like you would normally (taking into consideration the size of your PSU and length of your GPU).

The above omitted a CPU cooler, make sure it fits!
 
Oops sorry about the H97 board. Will correct...
** UPDATE ** added after market cooler

I'm going to build it





Can I run graphics on ultra with that Video Card or should I wait for R9 Nano? Any opinions or GTX 980 ti?
 
My best friend loves his new nVidia GTX 980ti, but I seriously doubt you will get one small enough to fit in a mini-itx case, AND keep it cool. His gets up to 85C playing GTA V in a Full Size EATX tower.

970 should do near ultra at 1080p.

If you are willing to wait I would, to see the size, cooling and benchmarks of the NANO, especially after seeing how well the non-x Fury does.
