Has been on Amazon for a couple weeks now:

Mine is out for delivery today, can't wait :)
EDIT: Time to get it installed! https://i.imgur.com/ofvixt2.jpg
I built my pc in a node 202 a few weeks back. If you see the pictures you'll see how compact it is. However you probably need a more powerful psu then my 450w It doent support hard drives so you might need to buy an external enclosure.
another case that might work is cryorig's new cases, haku and ola. those aren't released yet though.
IMO i would go with the ola unless you need the upgrade right now.
Edit: i think im shadowbanned? not sure why
I can't pretend to know anything about SFX PSUs, but this is a 600W Silverstone SFX PSU that's also Gold and Fully Modular (like the one in the OP), for just $4 more pre-rebate and another $11 cheaper after rebate: https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Factor-Modular-SX600-G/dp/B00MO675S8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1469648168
Edit: clarified rebate and that the PSU in the OP also is gold and fully modular.
Edit 2: It sounds like those who do actually know find the SF600 to be a much better buy, see comments below.
What do you think of this board?

I love the configuration and discrete audio. Also for psu:

It's modular, and the dimensions are perfect, with plenty of power incase I need it later.
Ha! My build is essentially the same, but I used the ITX Geforce 970. I have an OC of 4.2 Ghz with a Corsair Hydro water cooler. I can't remember the model offhand. I've also got 2 80 MM fans in the back and a 200 MM fan in front. I'm using a SilverStone 600 W PSU, which you can see here.
I haven't had any problems with power or performance with that PSU. Best of all, this PSU allows for a smaller case since it's modular and use the SFX form factor. I know Amazon also carries flat cables for this PSU.
Its pretty much impossible to beat this Silverstone. Its tiny. Its powerful. It's quiet. Its Gold Rated. Its fully modular. (Edit: It also comes with an ATX adapter so it'll fit in any case.)
I use it. It definitely gave me plenty of free space to arrange cables.
I already ordered this PSU. Seems like a decent price for this wattage, efficiency, and form factor. ATX PSU's are much more competitively priced, but whatevs.
If you want to upgrade the psu to 600W for $15 more, you can get this one:
600W
You need to price match newegg with Amazon's price, then fill the $15 MIR. It will bring the price from $123 to $108. Just some options if you want to upgrade.
Edit: No need to use price match. It has a rebate on Amazon to bring it to $108.
Any SFX power supply will do. Here are some:

Could also use an SFX power supply like this one: https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Factor-Modular-SX600-G/dp/B00MO675S8/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1493920710&sr=8-8&keywords=sfx+power+supply
600W would be overkill I'm thinking, but that would slim down the box size, they come in lower wattages and cost, and SFX is a standard Power supply size so replacement later if it goes will not be an issue. You could also go all the way up to 800W and install a GTX 1080 ti if you really wanted to and make this a full on gaming beast if you wanted, but that would be silly. But, hey, there's no Kill Like Overkill.
I'd be interested in the PSU if you're willing to knock a bit off. They're going for $84 after rebate on Amazon:

Silverstone's modular SFX power supplies already come with the shorter cables, no need to purchase them separately.
Also, it looks like the 600w version is listed on Amazon now, but not available for a few more weeks.
You're right. I had just chosen the only platinum-certified PSU compatible with the Node 202 without thinking to compare it to the SX-600G. It's quite a bit bigger...
I'd considered RAID for the SSDs, but it was a fleeting thought. m.2 will probably be my go to. Thank you!
