I've had an enormous case for way too long now: EATX form factor with an old GTX580. It's time for me to update my system. I've taken on the challenge to stuff as much powerful hardware (as I can afford at the moment) in the smallest case as possible. This is why I've chose the infamous Ncase M1 as the case I'll be working with. The case is beautiful and it's unbelievable how much high end hardware can be fitted inside it. The system will be used as main workstation and for gaming. I can't wait to hook up this baby to my 4K tv and play some 4K games with +30fps. For now I've chosen the GTX 1070 as GPU, because I think even the 1080 isn't the 4K gpu, but the Titan is. I'll keep the 1070 for now and wait and see what the newer generation GPU's will offer for a more comfortable price.
Main Components:
• Ncase M1 V4 Black
• DEMCIflex Dust filters
• Intel Core i7 6700K
• Asus Z170i Pro Gaming
• Gigabyte GTX 1070 Xtreme Gaming
• Corsair vengeance 16GB DDR4 2133 Mhz
• Samsung 850 Pro 500GB
• Corsair SF450
• CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-C12P
• CPU Fan: Thermalright TY-147

After spending hours on different cooling possibilities in this case I have decided on going full air cooled. I think an completely air cooled system is more silent then using plug and play AIO coolers. Of course, doing a correct custom water cooled system is the best temperature and noise wise, but a lot more expensive (and harder to upgrade later on). I was able to find an old Noctua NH-C12P air cooler, i think the best/biggest heatsink you can find for this system after the NH-C14 and Be Quiet Dark Rock TF. The cooler will be used with a huge Thermalright TY-147 140mm fan. For the GPU I've chosen a Gigabyte 1070 Xtreme Gaming, which is an insanely huge GPU (3 x 100 mm fans). I've mainly chosen this GPU because of the cooling solution, keeping them spinning slow to reduce noise.
