Hello Experts,

I've only built one PC before, about 10 years ago. Basically, Diablo 3 is coming out and I need to play it at the highest settings possible!

I don't have a strict budget (would like to keep around $2500). That said, my main limitation is space; I'd like to fit it in a space either:
1) 335mm (h) x 335mm (w) x 390mm (d) <-- it can stick out a little further than 390mm, but ideally not too much
2) 150mm (h) x 600mm (w) x 360mm (d)

I'd also like to keep it relatively cool and quiet.

Since I want high-end parts as much as possible, from what I can tell I won't be able to fit an appropriate CPU cooler in #2, so I mostly looked at cases to fit for #1:

Case: Lian Li PC-V353 , or if that isn't big enough I can do the Lian Li PC-V354
Alternatively the acubic CP715, but may be hard for people on this forum who don't speak Japanese to read :/

MoBo (Micro ATX): ASUS Rampage IV Gene LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Processor: Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition Sandy Bridge-E 3.3GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 2011 130W Six-Core Desktop Processor

CPU heatsink: One of these?

Memory: 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR 3 SDRAM 1600

Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 680 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

SDD: 256GB SDD HD SATA III
HDD: 750GB HDD 64MB Cache
Media Drive: 12X Blu-ray Burner

Power Supply (140mm): Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold Series 800W ATX 12V


Is it impossible to fit the i7-3960X LGA 2011 in a SFF case with a cool quiet cooling system?

Any advice on recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
If you need any other information please just let me know.

Thank you!

Apologies, I didn't follow the correct format. To compliment the above post:

Approximate Purchase Date: mid-end April

Budget Range: $2500 but flexible

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming on HDTV @ 1080p

Parts Not Required: monitor, speakers, OS - will be using my 40" HDTV on 1080p

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any site that can ship internationally

Country: Japan

Parts Preferences: High end as possible to fit in SFF case

Additional Comments: Space limitation is primary concern (335mm (h) x 335mm (w) x 390mm (d)), and I would like a quiet and cool PC as much as possible.
