Can a Asus 970 GTX be compatible with this with an i5 4670 cpu? And if so would I need a cpu cooler for that?

Yes, as long as you get a motherboard that's compatible with the case (ATX or micro-ATX mobos) and the i5 chip (LGA 1150 socket). After-market cooler is up to you depending on how hot/cold you want your CPU running. The chip will come with a stock cooler.

It should work, but as with anything, check all of the components...motherboard, processor, anything else you think you might add. Also, think forward...if you think you might want a video card at some point, bear in mind you will need a new case. If you think that might be a possibility, I would suggest something more along these lines: Cooler Master Elite 130 - Mini-ITX Computer Case with Mesh Front Panel and Water Cooling Support

Happy Xmas to you, welll as far as how I have it set ... Im using a Mid case like you with a 650 Power Supply in a 970A-446 Military Class motherboard with 8gb ddr3 Vengange Gaming RAM. This is Over Clock from 3.5 to 4.5 Mghz [AMD Black Edition] and is working ok. The VIDEO card is short factor so it should fit you well. Make sure you have a 550Watts or higher power supply just in case, also make sure you flash your mother board with the latest BIOS update prior to install the card.

As long as you motherboard has at least one PCI slot your fine. CPU does not matter when choosing a GPU. Make sure you have a big enough power supply to power this card. Also you might wanna look into NVIDIA gtx 970 because its the same price (less video memory) but faster speeds.

The graphics card will work fine. The CPU will not. The i5-3570K is an LGA 1155 socket. This is an LGA 1150 socket. You want a haswell CPU, not Sandy Bridge. Example i5-4670K

Yes- we recommend we upgrade the card for you. We could add a 3.2 Ghz CPU, and the ATI Radeon 5870 for a combined charge of $200.00. Let us know if interested. Otherwise, these are very easily upgradeable. Thanks!

The Boxed Processor as shown has the stock fan & heatsink. It is fine as long as you don't plan to Overc lock. If you do, then you would need a third party cooler.

It should work, AMD MB so its ATI compatible. See http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/970%20Extreme3/

Yes, no issue with processor compatibility. Check your motherboard and power supply to ensure they are capable. You need PCI Express and at least 400 Watt power supply.

Fans are great, I've played games for hours with no problem at all, as long as you have a good CPU cooler and Gpu

Absolutely, I installed a 212 evo and a 7870 so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.

According to ASROCK's website this cpu is compatible BUT you need a graphics card to go with it.

It's more than enough for games, but the GPU is more important in this case. I have the i5-4670 + GTX 770 and it plays almost all games at maximum graphics settings at 1920x1080

Check the motherboard page first to see what bios version supports this processor (http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/cpu-support-popup.aspx?pid=4658) . Water cooling is not necessary but you have to use a top of the line air cooler.

I used a GA-Z87X-UD5 TH. It fits but you don't have a lot of room. I ran as much wiring as I could first, then the mobo, then installed the 240mm (120mm sbs) liquid cooler and finally the gtx 760 card. You will not have a lot of room with a cooler like I described, and if you plan to install a fan at the top of the case you're going to be tight against some graphivs cards. I installed an Nvidia GTX 760 (02g-p4-2765-kr) and it's a very close fit.

Absolutely sir. I bought this for my brothers gaming rig. His gpu is a gtx 770 and we have had no problems. For gaming, an i5 is more than enough. The gpu is more important in this case. Even if you went all out with dual 780ti's that CPU would be fine. Overclocks very well also

Yeap, this cooler suite great to LGA1150.But you should be careful, it's huge, check that you have enough space in your PC.
