My general recommended PSU is actually an eVGA product as well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IKDETOW/?tag=extension-kb-20 Considering that you're planning on using RAM hungry Adobe produts, you're really shooting yourself in the foot by going with 4 x 8GB sticks of RAM. I would recommend going...

Well, what's the model number?-

1) Yes and no: A lot of SLI certfiied motherboards aren't actually all that well suited for 2.5 slot cards actually. So it's largely dependent on your motherboard choice whether or not you need to stick with a two slot card. With that said, that MSI Z170A Gaming Pro Carbon motherboard is perfect...

Quite a long time. IIRC, not until the second half of 2017 at the earliest. Just go build a PC now. As for which CPU path to go with, really depends on your choice of motherboard actually: Not all X99 motherboards will support Broadwell-E out of the box. As such, you would have to borrow someone...

Well, a few important questions: 1) How much are you willing to spend? 2) What RAID setup are you going for? Hardware? FakeRAID? SoftwareRAID? 3) Are you planning on using ESxi or some other Hypervisor?

Well first and foremost: That SSD is too small and overpriced. At a minimum, you should be looking at the Samsung Evo 250GB. In addition, the GTX 970 isn't that good of a buy with the GTX 1070 and the upcoming RX 480 on the market. That CPU and motherboard allows you to use the onboard video...

What PSU do you have?

What PSU? Did you replace the SATA cable connecting the SSD to the motherboard?

Unless you're using a weird funky mATX motherboard, all four mITX standoffs are compatible with mATX.

I read the reviews over at SilentPCReview site to come up with my opinion: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ITX Mini Tower | silentpcreview.com Fractal Design Core 500 Mini-ITX Chassis | silentpcreview.com

What case, PSU, and SSD are you using?

Core 500 is definitely the stronger option.

I have an Asus motherboard as well (see my sig) but that doesn't stop me from recommending better motherboards from other manufacturers if need be. As for the CLC, forget the H75 and go for this HSF instead: ARCTIC COOLING Liquid Freezer 120 ACFRE00016A 120mm Liquid CPU Cooler - Newegg.com Did...

1) Yes for future games. 2) Try it 3) N/A 4) Against the rules as per rules 16 and 26 of the [H]Forum Rules. Might want to edit that question out.

That motherboard doesn't seem to be all that reliable judging from the Newegg reviews. You might as well go for this better reviewed and cheaper Gigabyte mITX motherboard: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel...
