Help with mini-Itx build

[thegreatone805]

This is my first time building a pc and I have decided to build a gaming pc using:

• 
  Fractal Design Node 304
  Intel core i5 4670K
  ASRock Z87E-ITX Motherboard

I now need help on choosing the other components of the build, specifically the power supply because I have read that a big power supply may obstruct a large graphics card. Thanks for the help.

Also any recommendations for a good cpu cooler will be helpful.

Same build as me. You're going to love the node 304, such a nice case. The power supply I use is a seasonic g series 550w.

With this psu your pretty much set to pick whatever graphics card you'd want. I'd recommend a gtx 760/770 from asus (direct cuii) or from evga (acx)...asus being the slightly quieter of the cards, if noise is a concern, evga having the better customer service, allowing you to upgrade your card within 90 days of purchase if something newer comes out.

Thanks for the help I was not aware of evga allowing upgrades. I will take that into consideration when deciding on a graphics card.
