Seem like a good build? I am just playing around with Pc Part Picker

I love the design of the NZXT Manta case, so I just picked some parts fitting my budget around the case, and I was wanting to get some feedback seeing if this seems like a good, powerful enough Pc for the size.

Definitely a good build, however I like the Kraken x52/62 cooler.

For that style case, you'll want to go with a reference design/blower style cooler (for your gpu), due to the power supply placement.
When you go to install the GTX 1080 you've selected on pc part picker, you'll see there's barely any gap between the psu and the first half of the graphics card.
So essentially the first half of the gtx 1080 will be starved of air flow.
The reference designed coolers will have the fan at the front of the gpu to intake air (which won't be blocked), and all the heat that's generated by the gpu will be exhausted out the back which leads me to my next topic.
Another reason to go with a reference design/blower style cooler in an itx build is because an open air cooler will just disperse gpu generated heat inside the case, whereas with a reference style cooler will take that hot air and exhaust it out of the back of the gpu.
Other than that, nice build.

What do you mean reference style cooler? I'm still at bambi level when it comes to Pc parts and building. Still learning

Ok I see what you are talking about. Would that just be a problem with the Manta case or is that a good thing for even a mid size case?

This is my other option, a lot of the same internals, but all wrapped up in the S340 Elite cause that case is dope.

That is because of the Manta case, I would personally never run a blower style cooler, they don't cool as good as aftermarket ones such as the MSI Gaming X, EVGA SSC, ASUS Strix, or the Gigabyte G1. I also think the aftermarket fan coolers look better.

Yeah you can go with an open air cooler in that case. Just go with a larger motherboard so your components are spaced out a little more. No sense in putting a small micro atx motherboard into a mid atx case.
