I'm building a new machine, my Q6600 is finally feeling sluggish in some areas.

Here's my plan, anybody see any issues?

My goals are, in order, silence and small size. I'm too impatient to wait for ITX boards and SG02 seems small enough.

I will be adding a GPU as well, but probably not for a few months, current crop of cards doesn't inspire me much - that's why the overpowered PSU considering integrated graphics used.

Case - SG02
MB: Gigabyte GA-Z68MX
CPU: i2600K
PSU: SeaSonic X650
Memory: 8GB G.Skill Eco
Cooler: Big Shurkien
3.5" bay: USB-3.0 Card Reader
Some (hopefully quiet) Scythe Kama Flow Fans
The Crossflow Fan [Is this useful at all, or should I skip it?]
Intel 320 SSD

Anything "Oh shit" in there? From what I've read Big Shuriken should work in SG02. Is the crossflow fan worthwhile? I also wonder if Crossflow fan will fit with Big Shuriken...

In terms of air flow, I was thinking of having the top two fans on the bracket thing exhaust, and the HDD fan and crossflow fans as intakes?

Thanks
