I want to build something special for my friend :)

Idea:
- Top GPU
- Mini-ITX
- Internal or External PSU
- As small as possible
- As simple as possible

Specs:
- Case: 3.99L (296 x 270 x 50mm), 1.5mm Aluminum
- MB: Mini-ITX
- CPU: i7-8700K
- GPU: GTX Titan XP
- CPU Cooler: up to 28mm
- RAM: 30mm
- Storage: M.2 only
- PSU: G-Unique Unit (Low Profile Edition, 12.7mm PCB)
- PCIe Riser: LiHeat B-Type 30mm

Important:
- Motherboard needs to be used without backplate
- Videocard needs to be used without PCIe mounting bracket

Internal design:


External design:


Thanks for any comments :)

Interesting! But how are 300mm width enough for this case?
(The CustomMOD Slim is 325mm wide, with a similar layout, right?)

Two points:
- Videocard needs to be used without mounting bracket (-10mm).
- Compatible with only reference videocard (Slim is more universe).

Why not make it a little bit wider then put the arch demon power brick (100*200*45) inside the case?
The reference card is much longer than the MB, why not make use of the space and it will become brick less.

How much cooler than CNPS2X?
CNPS2X is cooler than K199 by 7-9C on the same level of noise.

A little bit wider is not my option :) But yes, I’m looking for internal solution.

This might sound dumb, but I will go ahead and say it:

Why not use the case as a secondary heat sink?

Or alternatively, take off the fan from Noctua L9i and add a few mounts for 40mm blower fan to create a wind tunnel from front to back?

Because CNPS2X is great solution for 95W Delidded CPU in games.

Maybe you can try water cooling. EK SE radiators are only 26mm thick, along with the scythe 10mm fan they may offer a much better cooling performance.

DDC pumps can be very slim (<4cm, some are <3cm).

More important, water block can turn a graphic card single slot, which may buy you some extra space.

The only thing I am worrying about is fittings.
