Please review this proposed RGB Mini-ITX Build

Options

Thank you! I am wondering if these components will actually fit together and also about the CPU cooler if I should get the MASTERLIQUID ML120L V2 RGB instead of the MasterAIR G200P. Also, do I need a case fan in addition to the CPU cooler? Which one? (RGB preferred)

    Whats all the Ram for? Doing a massive Unity or video editing? (Just wondering cause its a lot even by gaming standards.)
    I'd say the build overall otherwise looks great.

    I like to have a large memory pool for a nice block level cache. Lets me defer mundane writes from ever touching my SSD, helping prolong the lifespan. I'd imagine that since his is an ITX build and he only has 2 DIMM slots, he is just thinking long-term and buying RAM while its still cheap. Not a bad idea in all honesty, given the recent trend we've seen with memory pricing in general.

    I like this build a lot. I've thought about building an ITX AMD system as I've only ever done Intel ITX systems in the past. I'd like to wait for their next generation of processors though, so there is no telling when I'll actually be able to get started on the build.

    Nice job with the part selection, I wish you the best of luck with your build. Just make sure you pair a sweet gaming monitor with it, as that 2070 Super is going to allow for some high refresh rate, high resolution gaming.
