Oh no, according to PC part picker, it seems as though my h100i GTX CPU cooler isn't compatible with the motherboard I ordered (the ASRock X99E-ITX/ac Mini ITX LGA2011-3 Narrow Motherboard) seen here:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157588&cm_re=ASRock_X99E-ITX%2fac_LGA_2011-v3_Intel_X99_SATA_6Gb%2f-_-13-157-588-_-Product

If this is true, may I request help finding the best performing motherboard that will support the components/build below, as it seems that now I'll have to order a new motherboard for my build:

- i7 5820 CPU

- DDR4 mem

- fit in the Corsair Carbide Series Air 240

- support x1 GTX 980 GPU

- fit with a Corsair Hydro Series™ H100i GTX Extreme Performance

The only other motherboard features necessary is USB 3.0, support high end SSDs, and have WiFi included.

Thx again for all the help friends, you've really been able to put me at ease :>

Here you go Daron; here is a link to the PC part picker build I've done:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/kv6WvK

These are the parts I've ordered for my build, and as you can see, pc part picker seems to be picking up on the incompatibility between that motherboard and the corsair h100i GTX cooler cooler, although I thought they'd be fine together for some reason.

When a spare moment arises, would you be so kind as to suggest (via provided link so I don't accidentally get the wrong model) the best performance motherboard that fits this case and has the features below:

- i7 5820 CPU

- DDR4 mem

- fit in the Corsair Carbide Series Air 240

- support x1 GTX 980 GPU

- fit with a Corsair Hydro Series™ H100i GTX Extreme Performance


I have no problem returning the one I ordered and purchasing the one you suggest. thanks so much.

Thx so much for the help friends. My last question would be would you suggest the

- EVGA X99 Micro (131-HE-E995-KR) LGA 2011-v3 Intel

over the

- ASRock Fatal1ty X99M Killer

or

- ASRock Fatal1ty X99M Killer/3.1

I dont have any experience with ASRock but I know the EVGA is highly regarded with a nice looking BIOS.'

And BTW, the PSU i'm using is a EVGA Supernova 850Wg2 seen below, but I couldn't find it using PC part picker.
