Hardware Hub Build a PC
1

So yea.. I saw the FT03 and decided to scrap my Mid-Tower Build. I really like the look, aesthetic and the size of the case. 

Alright so here is my parts. (with questions or comments)

CPU: i7-4790k 

Mobo: GA-Z97MX-Gaming 5 (mainly for the sata express)

CPU cooler: NH-D15 (will it fit?)

GPU: Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 (will it fit? Also I heard that this kind of GPU will have some overheating problem with this case, is it true?)

RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB

Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB & Seagate Barracuda 2TB (will this SSD able to take advantage of sata express?)

PSU: Corsair RM550 (I think this will fit)

Optical Drive: EVGA 100-OD-S101-BR DBD/CD writer (will this even fit with all that inside?)

Also i'm considering the FT03 mini as well.

Would really appreciate the comments, suggestion and advice.

Thanks 

So yea :D

You are very lucky cause i own a Silverstone FT03 and I can tell you my experiences with it. and i also made a build log on this a few months back if you wish to look to give you a general Idea.

But to Keep it Short and Sweet.

  • Any GPU Length will fit if you remove the 120mm Fan on the bottom of the case and replace it with two 80mm fans. also for future reference I have an OC GTX 770 Classified (which as you know is a MASSIVE Card) I have it overclocked and i haven't noticed ANY overheating issues what so ever (even during the summer i've never seen the card go past 80C Ever,
  • The Nocuta D-15 will fit but be VERY Careful cause it will be a bit close to the GPU. if you wish to save yourself the trouble i would just recommend you get a GPU with a Backplate to save yourself any issue of Electrical Discharge if it were to happen.
  • The Optical drive MUST be a Thin Slot loading Optical Drive. you can't fit a normal traditional style Disc Writer.
  • The PSU will fit if it is no Longer than 180mm in length
