I am currently planning a gaming mITX build and this is my first mITX.
Since I am a newbie on mITX I thought I could ask here and hopefully get some advice or guidance on how to make it work.
I am planning on building in a Fractal design Core 500 and the GPU will be a Zotac 1080 ti mini. Other than that it will be minimal with components for best airflow.
Setup so far:
Monitor: Asus PG278QR
Case: Fractal Design Core 500
GPU: Zotac 1080 ti mini
PSU: Corsair SF600 / Fractal Design Integra M 650W (?)
Memory: 2x 8gb 3000/3200 (?)
MB: ?
CPU: i7 8700
CPU cooler: ? (Cryorig c7?)
HDD: 1x 500gb SSD/m.2 (?)
Cooling: ?
?
?
What I am worried about or wonder, is how it will hold with airflow/cooling? Hard to find information about the 1080 ti mini and itx builds.
Will it be enough as it is, or do I need to mount more fans because of the GPU is not a blower, or even use some hybrid cooler for CPU?
Edit: I have no need to OC the system why I took the 8700 and not K which I read gets hotter. But obviously not against, if it wouldn't be a problem with the cooling.
Hopefully someone has some idea or advice of what would be needed to make it work.
Thanks in advance!
