Hello, community,

I am planning a build in the NCase M1 v3, it will be used for games such as Minecraft, gmod, Dark Souls (1 & 2) and other future games. Here is the part list I have come up with, http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/Zggui/saved/YPMQzy I would like to have your opinion on what I could improve on and I would like to know if there are anythings missing.

Thank you.

I think you are going way overboard on complexity, and also overspending in the process. Skip water cooling on the GPU, and look toward a "larger" one with a blower style cooler that exhausts air out the back. For a high-end ITX build with that type of budget, I would do something more like the one below. It would yield a better CPU and GPU, gain WiFi, more memory, and have faster and larger disk solutions. Overclock as you please...

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor ($409.99 @ Newegg Canada)

CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X41 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($114.99 @ Memory Express)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97N-WIFI Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard ($164.98 @ Amazon Canada)
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory ($109.98 @ NCIX)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($218.98 @ DirectCanada)
Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($149.99 @ Newegg Canada)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Superclocked Video Card ($859.99 @ Memory Express)
Case: Fractal Design Node 304 (White) Mini ITX Tower Case ($114.25 @ Vuugo)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 650W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($116.07 @ DirectCanada)
Total: $2259.22

These parts will all fit in the NCase as well with the exception of the water cooler as the X41 has a 140mm radiator. You would need to swap in a 120mm single-fan cooler like the NZXT X31, CM Seidon 120M / 120V, Corsair H60, etc...

I want to have a CUSTOM watercooling loop for my GPU and CPU.

CPU: i7-4790k Could be a good choice if I want to do video editing
CPU Cooler: Kraken x41 As I said before, I want to have a custom loop for GPU and CPU
Motherboard: GA-Z97N-WIFI I will not be using WI-FI I will be connected via Ethernet
Memory: 16Gb Probably will add
Storage: WD Black 2TB I want to have an Hitachi drive since they have the lowest failure rate (wd is good though)
Video Card: 980 Ti Will take in consideration
Case: I do want the NCase M1 v3
Power Supply: I want the PSU to be fuly modular

Thanks for your answer :)
