depends on the parts if you get a case with * ventilation your graphics card and cpu fan will be loud so thats bad so gotta insure a good case also the psus are usually more expensive since they are not the normal size so could take longer looking for a good one also not all cpu coolers fit but the possitives are its tiny if you do it right they are quiet and they perform amazing lol

It is small, so it will be quite fiddly to connect everything.
A friend of mine built a small PC and had problems with overheating.
I don't know for sure, but if i were building in a mini itx I would be looking at a i5 4460 and a GTX950

If you really want to build an ITX case, then i would probably go for another CPU-Cooler. The 212 evo is a good choise if you have lots of room, but in the small enclosure of a miniITX case it is a little big. Small AIO Watercooling solutions are also possible. Most of the time it's easier to put a 120mm Radiator into a case than a big CPU cooler. Same thing with the GPU. The MSI Cooler has an open design. It will blow all the heat into the case and that could be a problem. Maybe go for a case with lots of ventilation holes in the GPU area then or choose a Blowerstyle GPU.

RVZ01, RVZ02, Thermaltake Core V1, F1 suppressor all offer comparable cooling to much larger cases in a compact form. You can travel with your desktop, it takes up minimal space, a smaller footprint is better imo. The cons are, you have to research your components very carefully to make sure you are choosing a good case and that all parts match. Certain components are not compatible with certain cases, so you need to plan ahead before building. I am coming from a CM storm trooper case, and happy to be moving into a case as small as the Sugo SG13 (11 litre)
