I'm thinking of building a mini-ITX pc, and these are the components I am thinking of buying:
- ASUS ROG Strix Z270I Gaming
- Intel Core i7-7700k Kaby Lake
- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1070 Mini ITX
- HyperX Fury 480GB 2.5" SSD
- Seagate Firecuda 2TB 2,5'' SSHD
- Crucial Ballistix Sport DDR4 2x8GB
Everything needs to fit in the Fractal Design Node 304 Mini-ITX.

I would like to know if this combination will work out well (if not, I would like suggestions for improvements), and also which power supply that would be needed, and which cooler fan I should buy (have little experience with mini ITX, so I dont know how large the cooler can be. I have thought of the Noctua NH-D15, but dont know if it would fit).

Mini ITX, Mini DTX motherboard compatibility; NOTE: motherboards with SATA ports that are angled 90 degrees may conflict with installation in the case.
2 expansion slots
6 – supports either 3.5" or 2.5" HDD / SSD
ATX PSUs, up to 160mm in length (To fit in combination with a long graphics card, PSUs with modular connectors on the back typically need to be shorter than 160 mm)
Graphics cards, up to 310mm in length, when 2 HDD slots (1 HDD hanging bracket total) are removed (Graphics cards longer than 170 mm will conflict with PSUs longer than 160mm)
Tower CPU coolers, up to 165 mm tall
Case dimensions (W x H x D): 250 x 210 x 374 mm
Case volume: 19.5 Liters
Net weight: 4.9 kg
Colors available: Black and White...

You've got a 2.5" FireCuda listed, the case spec says that it supports both 2.5" and 3.5". You may want to think about going with the 3.5", as the main difference between the two is that the 2.5" listed one will be 5400 RPM on the spinning portion of the drive, whereas the 3.5" version will be 7200 RPM. Usually they can be found for close to the same price and sometimes the 3.5" will go on a deal where it's actually a little bit cheaper even.

Thank you for considering Seagate!
