hey guys decided i would downgrade from my big gaming rig to a small itx gaming pc on a budget of £300 maximum. i'm using the cooler master elite 120 case and was going to mod case to mount psu at front of case so can use better cooler . here are the specs i came up with, thought i would see if there's anything you guys can see wrong with what i got drafted

Athlon X2 370K
GIGABYTE F2A85XN-WIFI
MSI 2GB HD 7750
Corsair Memory Vengeance Blue 8GB
OCZ Agility 2 180 GB
500W Storm Silent psu
coolermaster Hyper T4 cooler
Cooler Master SickleFLow Green fans

Can't wait for the 130? Might save some work.

well they said it would be mid November for the 130 and doesn't appear to be that much different apart from the fan grille on the front, was gona custom make a fan grille for the front anyways and the theme is going to be black and green for the paintjob

CM Hyper T4 won't fit. WAYYY too tall of a cooler, you do realize the PSU is directly above the CPU socket on the ITX board right? You have no more than 80mm of height for a cooler, probably more like 70mm.

Also, the Corsair 8GB memory will probably be too tall as well. You want low profile memory chips. Trust me, you really need low profile everything in this case.

I'd also remove the drive bay, its easy and it takes up half the case volume inside.

I've got 2 AIO coolers for the GPU and CPU and the rads vented to the side.

I highly recommend the cooler however, I love the look of it and size. Totally worth it. I think I got mine for like $30...lol

im gona be mounting psu at front of case from what i can see it should fit fine and hopefully with a little modding should be able to get a dvd drive in aswell also ram is the low profile version not that it does matter with the psu at the front
